Assignment 25- Thomas Ueland

Who will win the World Cup? Glad you asked. Since not many people in the real-world America care for professional soccer (it's one of those sports where if you don't play it, it is really hard to watch or be interested in), perhaps the Internet is the best place for soccer predictions. The United States was put in the so-called Group of Death and has to play Portugal, who has the best player in the world; Germany, who has arguably the best team in the world; and Ghana, our World Cup rival who always seems to beat us when we need a win the most. It's safe to say that we won't be winning it all this year; any sort of result would be a win in my eyes. The heavy favorite is the host country and perennial powerhouse Brazil, and with flashy superstars like Neymar and Hulk combined with a solid defense it should fare well for the host country. Because the World Cup is not usually upset-prone and because of the overall strength of their side,  Brazil will end up hoisting the trophy at the end of June. For the safety of the country, let's hope they win because otherwise there will be riots in the streets and widespread chaos.
