The White House announced Thursday that Vice President Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, will attend the opening ceremonies of the 2010 World Cup and the first U.S. men’s game in South Africa next month.

President Obama was invited to the opening ceremonies but won’t be going, though his interest in the sport is well-known.
