A Tourist’s Guide to the World Cup
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 06.19.06 | 3:29 PM ET
Who are the favorites in this year’s World Cup? Forget defense strategies, speed or player experience. The South Florida Sun-Sentinel’s Thomas Swick handicaps his favorites based on something else entirely: their standing in the world of travel. It’s a guide to the games unlike any I’ve seen, beginning with the opening paragraph: “On paper, Group F is definitely the strongest. Brazil comes in with Christ the Redeemer, Carnival, samba. Croatia has the newly hot Dalmatian coast. Australia is a perennial favorite with its kangaroos and opera house. And then there’s versatile Japan, with its potent mix of old (temples) and new (technology).”
