It is so joyful to read stories about the teams, the visitors here, the communities supporting the teams, etc. Your story about the Brazilian soccer team getting out of their bus at your house sounds like something out of a movie. What a special moment!

In January, I went online to reserve our favorite hotel in Southie, Boston, for our son’s graduation from the Periodontal graduate program from Tufts. It was sold out! And the other hotels, so expensive! It was only after googling “what is happening in Boston on June 18th” that realized the World Cup was there.

Don’t follow the men but very vivid memories of Brandi pulling off her jersey in the women’s World Cup win

Thanks for these essays, so, so enjoyable.

Sorry about the hotel glitch. But yes, that was quite a moment.

You are such a great booster for worldwide sports competition.

The Olympics and FIFA!

I watched one of the games last Saturday? Or maybe Sunday. It was a tie, 1:1. So interesting to play fiercely for a tie!! Nathan and Dave were trying to remember the rules from 4 years ago.

Air conditioning is a miracle; better yet Americans need to embrace more soccer fandoms!!!!
