World Cup Fevor

I grew up playing soccer since I was very young in Duxbury, one of Massachusetts' soccer meccas. Consequently I gave into soccer pandemonium at an early age. My senior year of high school both the girl's and boy's teams won the Massachusetts state tile; the boy's team was even ranked as the 3rd best high school team in the country by Umbro. Although I was a member of the team, I was not that good of a player and sat the bench often, and was only put in when the score was something like 20 - 0, which believe it or not happened more than once.

Regardless of my upbringing, World Cup soccer craze in Mexico overshadows most all US soccer celebrations. When Mexico is playing, the country shuts down. Bosses and workers alike put work aside and huddle around small televisions with excited anticipation of a potential world soccer title. Many schools now have TVs to watch world cup games, to combat absenteeism for kids who were skipping school to watch games. Soccer is Mexico's national sport. When Mexico wins everyone acts like they are your best friend, partying in the streets is expected and national pandemonium becomes the norm.

Both Allan and I have been watching as many World Cup games as possible. Never before have we watched so much soccer. We are finding creative ways to view games, whether it be turning on the game at a client's condo while we are doing routine property checks, or working on the laptop in bed while catching the latest World Cup games on TV. We are excitedly anticipating the games this weekend, and may even rearrange our beach plans so they do not overlap with the World Cup matches.
