A Different Kind of World Cup

While all eyes are on the World Cup scanning the football pitches for spectacular moments that redefine the sport, another event took place that did not garner so much attention.  In June over 200 teams not recognized by FIFA, the world's governing body of football, gathered to play their own version of the World Cup in the Swedish city of Ostersund. This is great. I wish more media attention would go their way. To learn more about the Confia Cup, go the link on the New York Times site.
