Señor Mendes roots for the Americans, at least until they meet the host country.
Small town America is getting a big kick out of the world’s biggest sporting event.
Even before Team USA stunned Ghana 2-1 today in its Group of Death opener, the already soccer savvy town of Coupeville wouldn’t shut up about the World Cup.
Scroll through Facebook and half the posts are soccer-related. And that was BEFORE the USA win.
Now it’s at about 81% and growing.
The photos above are just a taste of what’s to come our way, especially if the Americans continue to shock folks.
Soccer 24-7-365. There’s no escaping it.
