May Newsletter

The weather is getting warmer, the days are getting longer and the FIFA World Cup is drawing closer. That can only mean one thing; we are getting close to summer time! Here at the US Sports Institute (USSI) we have lots happening in preparation for an exciting summer of sports. Below you’ll find a few paragraphs detailing all that’s been happening with us.

WORLD CUP

The 2014 FIFA World Cup is going to be hosted in Brazil this summer, and although the build up may have been mired by controversy now with less than 30 days to go the excitement around the office is palpable. Who do you think will win perhaps the most coveted trophy in international sports? FIFA rankings have a top 4 comprised of Spain, Germany, Portugal and Brazil. Many would say they are the safe-bets, but when it comes to knock-out soccer you just never know. The FIFA World Cup runs from June 12th through July 13th. You can find the FIFA World Cup website here.

World Cup Final, Brazil 2014
Consider yourself to be a soccer fan? If so there can be no more mouth watering a thought than watching a World Cup final in Brazil. As much as my home country may claim to have given the sport to the world (contentiously) I would claim that the Brazilians have single handedly inspired, amazed, and enthused more generations of soccer players and fans than any other. Don’t worry if you cannot be in Rio for the final on July 13th. With almost half of the world’s population tuning into the previous final, I imagine you will be in good company watching from the comfort of your armchair.
