The FIFA World Cup, often simply the World Cup, is an international association football competition contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946 when it was not held because of the Second World War. The current champions are Spain, who won the 2010 tournament in South Africa.

The current format of the tournament involves 32 teams competing for the title at venues within the host nation(s) over a period of about a month; this phase is often called the World Cup Finals. A qualification phase, which currently takes place over the preceding three years, is used to determine which teams qualify for the tournament together with the host nation(s).

The 19 World Cup tournaments have been won by eight different national teams. Brazil have won five times, and they are the only team to have played in every tournament. The other World Cup winners are Italy, with four titles; West Germany, with three titles; Argentina and inaugural winners Uruguay, with two titles each; and England, France, and Spain, with one title each.

The World Cup is the most widely viewed and followed sporting event in the world, exceeding even the Olympic Games; the cumulative audience of all matches of the 2006 FIFA World Cup was estimated to be 26.29 billion with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the final match, a ninth of the entire population of the planet.

The next two World Cups will be hosted by Russia in 2018, and Qatar in 2022.

na televised ba mga football games diyan sa pilipinas? dito sa states lahat ng games pinapalabas sa ESPN. hindi siya nag overlap kaya okay, mapapanood mo lahat ng games magkakasunod lang.

yup, I'm following it, right now Germany is trouncing Portugal

Yes lahat ng match palabas dito.. Malali na din following ng football dito..

USA scored in 31 seconds ... GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Galing ni Clint Dempsey. Sayang wala na si Donovan sa team ... may alitan siguro sila ng coach kaya hindi siya nilagay sa rosters.

Go USA Go USA.

U.S. scored the last 86 mins of the game, corner kick sabay header ni brooks. Panalo 2-1 score.

Germany pinanis iyong Portugal haha 4-0. Na penalize pa iyong isang player ng Portugal na red flag pa siya.

1 game pa lang napanood ko. yung spain vs netherlands. di ko lang natapos pero nakita ko yung goal mula dun sa kick sa gilid. di naman free kick yun di ba?

Ganda laban today brasil vs mexico. Tapos mamaya russia vs korea.

yeah that one.

a teammate tried to headbutt the ball to the goal. not sure if he hit it though. i think it just went straight to the goal.

The goal line technology is impressive so far.

lol the defending champs are getting manhandled

Saw the game between Brazil and Mexico.. Magaling amd maswerte at the same time si Ochoa..

Medyo natahimik itong thread nung naging topic of the week.. Siguro di na napansin ng mga di pumapansin ng global topics..

parang baligtad tuloy nangyari. ginawa ngang global para makita agad a.

looks like England is going down , very slim chance of advancing lol

Sayang ang England, isa sa mga teams I am rooting for..

this WC is amazing, Italy just lost to Costa Rica
