Futbol

I realize that soccer is about 18th on the priority list of most important sports to Americans but understand something... just shy of 320 million people live in the United States and only 11 million live in Belgium.

The breweries (with TV's) downtown were packed nearly an hour early today at 1pm in anticipation of the 2pm kickoff of USA v Belgium in the Round of 16 at the World Cup in Brazil.

On Sunday a buddy of mine and I went to a well known downtown watering hole to watch Team USA's World Cup Soccer match with Portugal (They tied 2-2 in case you were wondering). We arrived about 5 minutes before game time and to our surprise was met with the crowd you see above.
