Soccer in the Sates

Day -683. WorldCup2018
Last night in New Jersey. There's been lots of soccer talk with our hosts. It really has become a big thing here. Listening to an 8 year old boy in NJ talking about Messi and his new blonde hairdo is like listening to an 8 year old boy anywhere in Europe, including yours truly many years ago. There is so much enthusiasm for soccer in this country that I would be happy for there to be another World Cup here. And it's not just because I'm being selfish and would like a World Cup close to home.
