Astronauts to watch World Cup from Space Station

As fans around the world tune in watch the World Cup in Brazil, a few fans out of this world will be watching, too. Members of the  International Space Station Expedition 40 crew will be cheering on their teams from some 370 kilometres above Earth. NASA astronaut Steve Swanson, ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst and NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman (left to right) sent this greeting to players and spectators down on Earth.
