As a big soccer fan, James said that he is excited to see the final gme live as he watch the previous part of the tournament from home. In fact, James is a part-owner in Liverpool.

"The excitement around football, the excitement around the world." James said. "It brings everybody into the sport, and I'm happy to be a part of the excitement now that I'm here." LeBron's travel to Brazil is his first appearance since he announced his return to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

When asked which team will get hold of the championship, James said that it's a toss-up between who's better, Lionel Messi or Neymar. He can't say whether Germany or Argentina would win the World Cup final.

"I think Germany has the better overall team. Argentina has one of the best players in the world, if not the best, with Messi," James said Saturday night during an appearance at Nike's "Casa Phenomenal." "That's why they play the game. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

James announced Friday afternoon that he is going back to his hometown after four years and two title wins with the Miami Heat astound the world of sports.
