I am going to the World Cup today, and I can't wait. To say I feel like a kid in a candy store is an understatement. You would think it's my first time. Hardly. As some of you may know, this is the 10th consecutive World Cup I have attended, dating to 1970 in Mexico. That span also includes the 1974 version in what was then West Germany. This year's will games will be played in many of the same places as the 1974 tournament, albeit in new state-of-the-art arenas in 12 cities, including Leipzig in former East Germany.Marcos reports on the opening of the tournament, the foreign media's early impressions of the US squad off the field and... politics, believe it or not.
