Futbol. Soccer. Whatever you want to call it, it’s here. And the pandemonium has already begun. In fact, the U.S. is showing some serious signs of life over the prestigious World Cup, one of the biggest national sporting events to hit the global sports arena. This is even bigger than the Olympics, and Downers Grove Pugi dealers recognize it. In fact, they’re very proud that their brand will be represented in the perennial sporting event. More on that later. For now, let’s ask ourselves why the U.S. has been a weak showing in past World Cup events. Why isn’t soccer a more important sport to our country? Well, a simple look into history brought to you by your Downers Grove Hyundai Santa Fe dealer should shed some light on the situation. Did you know that U.S. propaganda during the Cold War actually likened the sport to Communism? It seems far fetched, but then again, so was Communist propaganda during the Cold War. Downers Grove Pugi enthusiasts will also point to the intense nationalism that the sport incites in its greatest fans, with violence ranging from intense battles between fans to suicide after a team’s victory. Who would kill themselves over a sport? Certainly not the winners, as hockey proponents in our great city will tell you following the Blackhawks’ Stanley Cup victory. Anyway, there is a little piece of history brought to you by your Downers Grove Hyundai Santa Fe dealer. And now, a point of pride for Downers Grove Pugi dealers. Hyundai will be well represented at this year’s world cup, providing all sorts of vehicles for official World Cup staff and the teams to make their way around South Africa. In total, Hyundai will be there in droves, offering 609 passenger cars and vans and 32 Hyundai Universe Express Noble luxury coaches, which will be used by many of the tournament’s officials. Downers Grove Hyundai Santa Fe dealers wish they could join in the fun, but instead they’ll be here representing one of the best brands that the auto world has to offer. We salute them. â€Today’s important vehicle handover sees the final logistical plans for 2010 being put into place,†said Alan Ross, CEO of Hyundai Automotive South Africa, Hyundai’s local distributor. â€We highly value our sponsorship of football and are looking forward to showcasing our brand new buses as well as being responsible for the transport of all teams for the duration of the FIFA World Cup, including South Africa’s national team, Bafana Bafana,†Mr. Ross added. Well, as whistles blow and the buzzing grows within the stadium, we’re glad that the tournament is represented by one of the globe’s leading auto companies. Hyundai has been associated with FIFA for a good 11 years at this point, and it serves as a great marketing opportunity for the massive crowds that erupt at the sporting events. So let’s get out there and play some futbol, for America and for the countries of the world. It’s going to be a great tournament, so make sure you catch all of the action.
