TEAM UP JUNE 12 FOR WORLD CUP SOCCER AND A BENEFIT FOR GLOBAL CAMPS AFRICA AND CHILDREN AFFECTED by HIV/AIDS

New York City – The much anticipated FIFA World Cup Soccer match in South Africa between the U.S and England will be televised at a viewing party Saturday, June 12 to benefit Global Camps Africa and children affected by HIV/AIDS. The event will be held from noon to 5 p.m.at Vintage Irving/Side Bar located at 15th and Irving Pl., Union Square, NYC. Special guest, Rima Fakih, Miss USA, is scheduled to appear prior to the start of the match.

This matchup is the first time the U.S. has faced England in a World Cup since a famous upset 60 years ago when the United States, against all odds, defeated England 1–0 in what has been named the "Miracle on Grass". The game and the U.S. team were profiled in the book "The Game of Their Lives" by Geoffrey Douglas, which was later made into a film. At the time, England considered itself the "King of Football"; the odds were 3–1 the English would win the World Cup, and 500–1 for the U.S.
