It's been an exciting start to the 2010 World Cup, the first time the best in soccer have played the event in South Africa.
Thirty-two countries compete in eight four team divisions in the opening round. Although there is no Canadian team, many fans here choose to adopt a team of their ancestral homeland.
That means in Thunder Bay, you will notice many wearing the colours of the Italian team, or waving the Italian flag over the mext month. I'm not really cheering for any country, rather just enjoying the world-class compeition, which like the Olympics only happens once every four years.
What country are you adopting in the 2010 World Cup, and why?
