First of all, it's properly called soccer because soccer is short for association football, as opposed to Rugby football. Rugby and its descendants are just as much football as soccer is. The etymology of the words is clear, so any suggestion that soccer is somehow "more football" than rugby or American football is an innovation. When it comes to language, we here at this blog don't take kindly to innovations.
As for the tournament, here's our official preview. Some people are going to kick a ball around, it's going to be boring as hell, and we don't care.
