The past few weeks, millions have gathered around screens worldwide for the 2014 World Cup. Whether brand-new to soccer or diehard fans, there’s a pride in uniting to root for your country. The best Sixes of this past week showed your enthusiasm for the sport. Many Sixers commented on the games (“Germany vs. Brazil. So bloody surreal.”) and the sportsmanship shown (“Beating drums for soccer fans worldwide.”). Indeed, watching these amazing athletes makes us all want to step up our game. –Gilmarie Brioso
