Pub Experience

After being in at the World Cup for eights days you think you have experienced all the great atmospheres that surround the World Cup, but yesterday was a whole new and crazy adventure as we went to a British pub to watch the USA vs. Slovenia game and the England vs. Algeria game with 300 drunk Englishmen. I have never see so many people who are riding an emotional roller coaster as both games went on. It was a blast and after spending three hours getting told our team is trash and we probably won't advance it was pretty entertaining watching the faces of all the England fans as they walked with their heads held low when leaving the pub. On the other side of things, our hotel happened to be in a large Algerian neighborhood and they cheered well past midnight. Looking at this and how it affected so many people was amazing and you can truly see how far this game reaches across the world and how deeply people love their football.
