Stamps Celebrate Soccer's World Cup

Ready to drop kick, this colorful stamp from Vanuatu celebrates the 2006 World Cup and its 32 participating nations. In a heart-stopping penalty shoot-out in Germany this summer, Italy narrowly beat France to be crowned 2006 World Cup champion.

Whether you call it football or soccer, the international men's competition has played out every four years since 1930, with a break during WWII. (The Women's World Cup has been held on a similar 4-year schedule since 1991.) The World Cup is the most widely-viewed sporting event in the world, according to an article posted on Wikipedia, with more than a billion fans watching.
