We can't help but get caught up in it. Soccer is really catching on in the U.S., although it's always been huge elsewhere. Last May we were on Navigator and stopped in Valencia, and Bilbao was to play Barcelona that evening. It was Wednesday morning at 11am and those people were going NUTS!!!! Carrying on, chanting, drinking, hanging out of buses. I think we saw like 3 Barcelona jerseys and literally thousands of those red and white uni's that Bilbao wears. (To their chagrin, Barcelona ended up winning :( ) We'll never forget that day and just how fun it is to witness other countries' pastimes/passions.

Editing to say, GO USA!!!!!!!
