World Cup

[Esqueleto]

Only with soccer fans?

Yes

Can't wait. Wife and I are taking off 6 months to travel North America, watch soccer, and drink beer with soccer fans from around the world.

Sounds like an amazing time.

My only international exposer to soccer was when I was traveling for work overseas quite a bit. I happened to be in Aberdeen, Scotland for a World Cup qualifying game. I got to go to a local pub with co-workers to watch. The atmosphere for a qualifying game was equal to a Super Bowl here. It was unreal! Again, for a qualifying game. I can only imagine the atmosphere for a World Cup game.

I'm still amazed that only Europe and South America have ever won a World Cup.

It's the world's version of American basketball. All you need is a ball, can makeshift goal posts if needed.

US will change that in 4 years.

well they have more teams and more qualifying slots

[Turbine]

well they have more teams and more qualifying slots

"More" (than anyone else) would be easier to understand.

It's "only" that surprised me.

USSA seems to be starting over every 8 years. France on the other hand is still a young team. Brazil reloads. USA got 14M for simply breaking bracket.

[CajunVic]

Yes

May all those soccer moms wooo you and your Mrs. have a great time . . .
