vanDoug Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Going on here in Canada. Just left a crowded bar where Mexico beat Gambia on the TV Place was full of Mexican soccer fans who are very passionate about their sport. Must say, it was a lot of fun Hadn't really heard of this event before. The U.S. is also in the tournament. Anybody else heard of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavrik Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I wish that American fans had the same kind of passion about their team that Latin American countries and ohter countries do. I watched the USA v. Argentina match at an Irish Pub in Tallahassee last week and it was choke full of Argentina fans. Very few US fans to be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's generally because americans for the most part think soccer sucks ass. I personally like soccer fondly and played it for 11 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Venice when Italy defeated France this past summer. People were jumping into the canal following the victory. Yeesh. I still quiver at that thought. The atmosphere and utter elation in St. Marks Square was something I had never experienced following a sporting event. Truly a once in a lifetime experience.
