Happy World Cup Day

Thankfully, the great Ian Darke will be presiding.

Today begins a wonderful month-long marathon of soccer in Brazil and all the accompanying emotion that the World Cup more often than not tends to deliver.

If we somehow manage to get a moment that comes anywhere close to matching the magic of this Landon Donovan goal in 2010, one that still gives me chills each and every time I watch it, we'll consider ourselves very lucky.

Either way, we'll be getting plenty of the great Ian Darke, which is a pretty exceptional gift all by itself.
