I’m very excited for the World Cup in South Africa, don’t get me wrong.  It’s going to be a thrilling tournament in a beautiful country that’s ready to show itself to the world.  That being said, I’m already looking ahead to 2014 and Brazil. 

Apartheid and unlawful imprisonment just don’t sound as exciting as samba and Caiparinhas. 

What a party this will be in 2014.  Stories always surface about how the nation shuts down for a day or two after a big Brazil win or defeat…I imagine the country will be at a standstill for this entire month.
