I have a fever and the only cure is more World Cup

I have a confession to make; every couple of years I get hard core World Cup fever. I go from casual football (soccer to most Americans) fan that usually just keeps flipping the channel when regular soccer is on TV to an avid fan during the World Cup. I don’t care if it is women’s World Cup or men’s World Cup; I watch. I am not even a football/soccer player really. I did play some recreational football/soccer from time to time growing up so I know the rules, but I never really played as an adult. This year (Women’s 2011 World Cup) I have taken it one step further and am following several of the US soccer players on twitter, which has been enjoyable. Here are some of those players:
