Well these last couple of days have been pretty hard on American soccer fans like myself and it shouldn't be any surprise to anybody that the people of Europe were delighted with our departure from the Tournament. We have been watching the games the last few days on the internet but it was evident from reaction on the streets of france who the locals wanted to win in both the American and English games. This reaction is something that most would expect from a bunch of upset Frenchmen whose team was disgraced and bounced in the first round so we were not shocked but a little amused. Ghana seems to be the neutral team that is picking up the support of the fans whose teams are already out and with the growing list of high profile exits why not root for the underdog? we are off back to the states in a few days so i will probably only post one more time but this has been a fantastic experience and hope i have given some decent insight into my experience and that all of you will be booking flights to brazil in four years.
