Soccer Noobs come out every four years, lets try to be nice to them.

There will be plenty of soccer novices taking an interest in the sport this month. Welcome them with open arms.

The World Cup used to be the talk of every country but ours, but that’s no longer the case. From the time Brazil kicks off against Croatia on Thursday until the trophy is lifted one month later, much of the United States will have soccer fever.

The affliction won’t just affect those of us wondering what formation Jurgen Klinsmann will play against Ghana, but those wondering who Jurgen Klinsmann is, what a formation means and why Ghana even has a soccer team.

Please be nice to them.
