world cup at the marina

I am working at the marina today as the World Cup's final soccer match begins. The TV room is filled with boaters most of whom are from some European country. There is one French couple, one asian couple, and one couple from the Netherlands. There is also one lone American. The French couple witnessed the French defeat of Brazil with much shouting. It should be really interesting today. I have become more involved with this game since my recent trip across the Atlantic with three Brits. They talked soccer almost the whole way. I wish that the USA would get as involved as the rest of the world, but there is no money in soccer in the USA for athletes. The money here is in Baseball, Basketball, and Football. Fortunately there is more oppurtunity for women in the USA and that is why they do so much better than the American men
