Yes, there is a Football World Cup going on in Canada and we actually talk about it, watch the games, hear about it in the news etc., well some of us and some games. The general interest isn't as great as in the men's worl cup, but still.This time more Germans watch the games probably because we're greedy and want to make the double.
And I think I'm not qualified to start an eye-candy thread for this world cup, maybe others will do that.
Anyway, even the women like men playing football, but women - not so much. Girls don't play football in the streets or the schoolyard very often, boys do all the time. It's hard to overcome certain traditions I think.
