Heading to the coffee machine one afternoon as usual, I notice a group of men gathered in the break room. They\u2019re fairly quiet, but they are doing something intently. Since I don\u2019t follow soccer, it takes me a while to realize what they\u2019re up to. Upon closer inspection, it\u2019s clear\u2014they\u2019re trading Panini soccer cards. Each of them has an album and is trying to collect a card for every player.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 16%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-13072 gallery-columns-6 gallery-size-square'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.sma-sunny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Paninisammler-1.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sma-sunny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Paninisammler-1-180x180.jpg\" class=\"attachment-square size-square lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sma-sunny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Paninisammler-1-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.sma-sunny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Paninisammler-1-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/www.sma-sunny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Paninisammler-1-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.sma-sunny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Paninisammler-1-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.sma-sunny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Paninisammler-1-450x450.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.sma-sunny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Paninisammler-1-500x500.jpg 500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 180px;

Some of my colleagues recently invited me to take part in the SMA contest to predict the winner. I think I can do well there, since I\u2019m told that people who are clueless about soccer make the best guesses. I make up my mind to give it a try. The organizing team has even prepared a bracket. By the day before the opening ceremony, I have to pick the group winners for the opening round, and also decide which team will be the world champion. It\u2019s tough, but I choose the host country, Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>World Cup brackets, football, fan curve: SMA is ready for the 2014 World Cup<\/h5>\n<p>As I turn in my bracket, I notice that there are a number of World Cup decorations scattered about the entrance hall. Names for the stadium sections are taped to the wall. There\u2019s foosball, with World Cup stickers along the boards. Banners hang on the office doors. But the best is the SMA fan curve stickers decorating the corner seating unit in the kitchenette. Now there\u2019s no doubt\u2014SMA has World Cup fever, and I\u2019ve caught it too J<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen whether there will be a group viewing of the matches under the solar roof.
