World Cup (soccer), two international soccer tournaments, one for men and one for women, each held every four years. Both tournaments are the pinnacle of international competition in the sport.
The men's World Cup is considered the most popular sporting event in the world and is followed with passionate interest around the globe—the final game of the 1998 tournament was played to a television audience of more than 1 billion viewers. Founded in 1930 with just 13 teams, the tournament now attracts entries from more than 140 countries. The teams must participate in elimination games within their own continents before qualifying to become one of the 32 nations participating in the final tournament. The women's World Cup was first played in 1991 and has gained popularity steadily since then. More than 90,000 fans attended the finals of the 1999 tournament—one of the largest crowds ever to witness a women's sporting event. Nearly 75 nations attempted to qualify for the 1999 event, which was a 16-team elimination tournament.The FIFA World Cup (often called Football World Cup, The World Cup, or simply World Cup) is the most important competition in international football (soccer), and the world's most repreteam sport event.
Organised by Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's governing body, the World Cup is contested by men's national football teams which are FIFA members.
The World Cup is held every four years, but the qualifying rounds of the competition take place over a three-year period, using regional qualifying tournaments. 197 national teams entered the qualification tournaments for the 2006 World Cup. The final tournament phase involves 32 national teams competing over a four-week period in a previously nominated host nation.
The World Cup final competition (often called the "Finals""), which has
been held every four years since 1930, except in 1942 and 1946 when it was cancelled due to World War II, is the most widely-viewed and followed sporting event in the world. It has a global audience of more than 3 billion people (half the world's population) exceeding even the Olympic Games.

世界杯(足球),两个国际足球锦标赛,一个男人和一个女人,每四年举行一次。这两项赛事都是体育界国际竞争的顶峰。

由国际足球联盟组织(国际足联),这项运动的管理机构,世界杯是有争议的,是国际足联的成员国家男子足球队。
世界杯每四年举行一次,但比赛的资格赛将在三年内进行,使用区域资格赛。197支国家队进入资格赛为2006世界杯。最后的比赛阶段涉及32个国家队竞争超过一四周的时间在先前提名的东道国。
世界杯决赛比赛(通常被称为“决赛”)
自1930以来,每四年举行一次,除在1942和1946,当它被取消,由于第二次世界大战,是最广泛的观看和随后的体育赛事在世界上。它拥有超过30亿人(超过世界人口)超过奥运会的全球观众。
今天早晨,热闹了一个月的德国足球世界杯落幕了。意大利人赢了,他们有理由兴奋,他们有理由狂欢。然而,我更多关注的是,法国人输了,他们哭泣,他们黯然神伤,他们仰天长叹,他们泪流满面。尤其是那个叫齐达内的足球巨星,因用头顶倒对方后卫而被红牌罚下,一时间,成为世人瞩目的焦点,令人不解,令人扼腕。英雄和魔鬼就在这一刻之间!功臣和罪人就在这一刻之间!这就是足球,这就是命运。
据说这届世界杯的口号是,为胜利而来。然而,到头来谁又是真正的胜利者,是意大利,是,又不是。32支球队,一路从小组赛、八分之一决赛、四分之一决赛、半决赛、决赛走来,冰冷的规则,决定了笑到最后的只有一支球队,只有一个冠军,只有一个奖杯。32支球队,在一个月的打拚中,谁没有失败过,谁没有遗憾过,谁没有痛哭过。绿荫场上,给人感触最多的还是泪水、失落和悲壮。你可曾见过男人的痛哭,你可曾见过男人的绝望,这里有。
我眼中的世界杯,整个就是一场热热闹闹的悲剧,一场竞争的悲剧,一场争夺的悲剧,一场英雄的悲剧。遗憾、狂喜、得意、悲伤……如同人生,如同命运。世界杯,把一支支球队招呼到一起,彼此算计,彼此争斗,最终等待他们的是淘汰、是失败,即使有胜利,也是暂时的胜利。而大自然的造化,是把一个个高级的生命赤条条地抛到世上,生存和欲望,奔波和追逐,但最终给予他们的',却是穷途末路,是彻底的绝望,是无法拯救的死亡。
当然,生命毕竟是美丽的。
人生的每一个季节都有着自己的风景,夕阳中的落日,秋风中的落叶,每一种颜色,每一种声音,都铸就了永恒的精彩。就像世界杯,一幕幕激动人心的场景,一个个荡气回肠的故事,给人们带来了激情和欢乐。人活着,有一个梦想,有一份信念,有一份执着,便称得上是富有,便称得上充实。其实,人这一生能得到什么呢?如同足球比赛,只有过程,只有注满在这个过程中的心情,或悲,或喜。
事实上,快乐和悲伤,得意和失意,成功与失败,时时伴随着红尘中的人们。在这个世界上没有完美,每个人都有残缺和遗憾,每个人都有悔恨和泪水,而世界正是因了这份残缺和遗憾,有了这份痛苦和无奈,才丰富多采、鲜活生动起来。一个失去差别的世界是一潭死水,一个没有滋味的人生是苍白的人生。正因为苦难的来临,正因为绝望的等待,正因为不可避免的悲剧命运,人们的拼搏和争斗才被镀上了一层悲壮的色彩,生命的故事才更加令人感慨、感动、感叹。足球世界杯,正因为有了一个个勇敢无畏的失败者,才有了它恒久的魅力。
拥有巨星的阿根廷队倒在了点球之下,充满王者之气的巴西队因为一时的平庸被淘汰,优雅的英格兰队在球迷的泪水中提前出局……还有,那些只打了几场就早早回家的球队,满怀希望而来,却饮恨、失望而归。
成败论千古,人间最不公。一边是狂欢,一边是悔恨,强烈、分明、互衬。和足球场一样,人生之路,充满坎坷,和着泪水咽下面包,才会真正
旦夕祸福,世态炎凉。也许,重要的是我们要有一颗平常心,重要的是能够忍耐。对于自己力不从心的事,不妨听其自然,永远朝好处想,永远看重自己。时间就是财富,健康就是财富,生命就是财富。要学会面对失败、面对艰难、面对厄运,只有苦寒之地才会结出灿烂的生命之花。正所谓,不见风雨,难见彩虹。
静观足球世界杯,极尽悲怆和苍凉之感。而人生也犹如一首乐曲,高高低低、起起伏伏、曲曲折折,有苍凉也有欢快,有壮烈也有低沉。生命属于我们只有一次,时间不会为我们的欢笑或泪水停留。滴水有限,江河永恒。人生就是一场舞蹈,围绕着欲望旋转的永恒的生命之舞。
苏轼词云:“人有悲欢离合,月有阴晴圆缺,此事古难全。”在智者的眼中,月圆是画,月缺是诗,快乐和悲伤都是人生中不可或缺的风景。一切没有圆满,一切不会圆满。你可以拥有很高的权力,你可以拥有很多的金钱,但在自然的法则面前都会变得苍白无力。沧海桑田,天公无语。
我不是球迷,在2006年这个炎热的夏天,对在地球另一半的人们围绕足球而来的欣喜和痛苦,只是远远地通过电视、网络知道了一些,看到了一些。也有许多个夜晚,躺在床上,或者沙发上,开着电视,断断续续、时睡时醒地看直播、看报道,没有悲,也就自然没有喜,毕竟是看别人踢球,看别人的悲喜。
人间没有不散的宴席。欢颜与泪水,疯狂与理智,德国世界杯,在这个夏天的早晨结束了,并成为永远的历史。而留在人们心中的,是岁月,是激情,是伤感,是悲壮,是罗纳尔多失意的眼神,是齐达内黯然离去的背影。
篇一
Brazil’s 2014 FIFA World Cup mascot, a blue and yellow armadillo...now officially has a name. Following an online vote, the armadillo was baptized on Sunday as "Fuleco", a word which organisers say transmits a message of environmental awareness.
The name of the three-banded armadillo, an endangered species indigenous to Brazil, was announced on national television. The name Fuleco was chosen by 48 percent of the 1.7 million votes, trumping the two other options, Zuzeco and Amijubi. While nature’s version is light brown in color, FIFA’s armadillo is yellow with green eyes and a blue shell - the colours of the Brazilian flag - and will be holding a football. Three-banded armadillos live mainly in Brazil’s arid northeast and are threatened by destruction to their natural environment. They are unusual among armadillos in that they can roll up into a ball to defend themselves from predators.
