Howdy Mates, so there is passion for Soccer and then there is passion for football and boy did I witness it last night during the opening game US vs. England. While a small percentage of America was watching the match in South Africa an entire Country watched with huge expecations on this side of the Pond. I represented my country proudly 1 US fan in a sea of 200 plus drinking England fans. When England scored at 3:55 I thought I was in for a long night but Dempsey, Donnovan, and the boys held strong. I got a really dose of global US perception during the US national anthem when the bar boo'd... The only harrassment I faced was in the bathroom during halftime, serious bro save it for the bar the last thing I need is your drunk ass barking at me when I'm peeing! Overall I had a good group of England friends that would either protect me or be the first to punch me at some point but it was fun. By the reactionof the country and press you'd thought they lost the world cup outward last night out tright. They live to play another day, Friday after the US. I will again wear my US proudly and then remove that jersey and lift a pint or two in a roudy English bar for the England game.
More soon, I promise!
