Congratulations on the
launch of your magazine. I
look forward to reading your
next issue.
T
he 2014 World Cup is just
around the corner, and to
be honest, I can’t wait for
the tournament to begin. Here
we are on the cusp of another
football-packed four weeks.
The World Cup promises to
be as exciting as ever with Italy
returning to defend their title.
Will they go back-to-back,
or will new faces on the scene
make this year’s World Cup their
break-out event?
The glory of being world
champions is what these nations
have been playing for. Truly, it
will be a worldwide spectacle
in celebration of the game of
football.
But before the globe’s
favourite tournament begins,
THE GAME takes you on the
road to Brazil, host of this year’s
edition.
Walk with us as we take you
through all the 32 participating
nations which are thoroughly
profiled.
So in the interests of making
your summer go as swimmingly
as humanly possible, we are
bringing you an in-depth 50-page
special World Cup guide that
will keep you well informed
throughout the festival.
Now that we’ve done all
the legwork for you, sit back,
relax and enjoy reading what
will undoubtedly be an incredible
event.
We are as excited as you are
to watch all of the drama unfold
before our eyes.
We can’t wait … let the
tournament begin!
