is this your first encounter with the atmosphere of a Southern (European or American) country winning a major soccer tournament? that's what got me into soccer in the first place. I was 13 when Italy won the WC in 1982 and all hell broke loose!!! I thought, hey, this is fun, let's start watching this sport more...
I've never seen that kind of "enthusiasm" (folly?) here in the States over ANY sport... sad
