World Cup 2014 was officially my second World Cup, and although I am no expert, I must say that it’s truly the greatest sporting event throughout the entire world. With all of the festivities that surround this great event, it’s no wonder why it only happens every four years. No photo, souvenir, or video could do this sport extravaganza justice, but that shouldn’t stop me from trying, right? Check out my photo journal from the last 20 days spent in lovely Brazil.
