The Copa Mundial Officially Kicks Off

12:19 H | Topics: Events - Sports

mascot2_m.jpgIt's on! A short time ago the 2006 FIFA World Cup was officially opened. German uber-model Claudia Schiffer and futbol legend Pele opened the Mundial carrying the golden World Cup. This was follwed by a parade of the countries who have won World Cups into the Munich stadium. A catchy musical performance followed featuring German singer Herbert Gronemeyer and African duo Amadou & Mariam.

Now we are officially into the first game of the Copa Mundial with Costa Rica facing the home country team of Germany. Not even 18 minutes into the first half, we have Germany ahead 2-1. Germany scored a golaso within the first three minutes. If what I'm watching now is any indication, this is going to be an amazing Copa Mundial. I need to go grab a beer. This is good.

Keep track of what's going on with the Copa at the official FIFA World Cup Website.
