[quote=Anonymous]Ah, not in my community.

We are a soccer family, generations upon generations.  I started travel in the 70s as a young girl.  My teens are very into soccer, play year round indoor and out and have since they could stand up.  There have been viewing parties.  People have taken off work.  My older brother, who played pro, took off this week from work to sit in his Liverpool bar in NYC to watch round the clock.  It's crazy in his neighborhood.

DC bars are allowed to serve alcohol around the clock during the WC.

I just walked by my 14-year old's virtual school day...to see the Denmark match up on his laptop screen :lol: .

World Cup fever is at their high school too with viewing parties in the theater after school ready to go.   It will run all day so during study breaks or lunch period the kids can go watch.

Ironically, Germans in Germany have boycotted the World Cup.  In Berlin, there are currently no signs the WC is even being played.  Crazy--since I lived in Berlin during the 2010 WC where it was mayhem.

This year all the major news networks have had WC coverage, even the local Newscasters were wearing special WC pullovers and did segments all day yesterday, the first US match.[/quote]
