The World Cup Starts
The last world cup was phenomenal. Football was in the media here all the time, and the USA team even made the front cover of the USA Today. The bars were packed watching the action. To a football fan transplanted to the USA it was a dream come true.
Until the USA national team was knocked out.
Then it disappeared from the media. Handily, most of my American friends here are big football fans, to we continued to watch the games in the wee hours of the morning.
Today, it kicked off again (at least for me). The USA v Canada World Cup qualifying game was held today at Qwest Field in Seattle and we had free tickets. So Darwin, his daughter Gabriella, Nabila, Julian and I went to watch the match.
And a fine match it was too. Qwest Field is a great stadium and as a bonus the weather was superb.
I've dumped the rest of the photos I took over on flickr, and for those of you in the UK paying attention - yes, you can drink beer at a football match in the USA ;-)
