GOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL

I don't know about you, but the World Cup is big in my house.  And by big, I mean huge.  Mr. Cob's "sport" growing up was soccer, as was his brother's and sister's.  And it just so happens, that my brother was also a huge soccer star.  So not only did I grow up watching the sport (and even playing for a few years myself, until we moved to Virginia where girls soccer wasn't really a hit), but I married a soccer lover.  Mr. Cob and my brother even played on the same team here in the ATL until Mr. Cob's unfortunate soccer injury last year.  And my dad, brother and husband are all already teaching my 23 month old nephew how to kick a soccer ball (or any ball for that matter).  It's never too young to start loving the sport!  (I wouldn't be surprised if Baby Boy Swan has a soccer themed nursery...)

So as I was saying, soccer is huge in our house.  And the 2010 World Cup starts in exactly 3 days.  And Mr. Cob has been planning a World Cup party for....drum roll please....SIX MONTHS!  That's right.  He sent out an evite for a party six months in advance.  It's hard to believe it's actually here.  Saturday afternoon the USA will take on England in their first round match-up and its sure to be a great game.  Mr. Cob spent at least a few hours creating this elaborate evite and I felt that his artistry deserved to be shared with the world.

So you know what we'll be doing on Saturday - cheering on the USA!  I feel like they're going to make it far this year.  And if you have some free time, you should fill out a bracket on espn: http://games.espn.go.com/bpredictor/en-us/frontpage - it always makes tournaments more fun when you have something/one to root for and bracket bragging rights to earn!  Here's to hoping Argentina wins it all!
