“I’ve never been a soccer guy but seeing all these different countries come over and have vacation and enjoy the country it’s a special and very cool thing. It’s hard not to get wrapped up in it” -@stoolpresidente

This is what soccer is about, bringing people together and forgetting our differences. Love this!
Vancouver has absolutely aced it for the World Cup.
This is 9:30pm on a Sunday when there was no massive game on TV or match on at BC Place.
Best World Cup city, by a kilometre.
The Canada supporters group, the @thevoyageurs announce that the March to the Match on Thursday v Qatar won’t be on the Granville strip/Robson like a Whitecaps march.
They’ll start near Science World and march the last mile to the main fan entrance for BC Place.
🚨Breaking: NBA, basketball, and American football fans in the USA are in disbelief at how massive football is.
The viewing numbers for this World Cup are absolutely JAW-DROPPING. The opening match was reportedly watched by 1.2 BILLION viewers worldwide, with 18 million watching on Fox sports and Telemundo in across the USA
So many Americans have never seen anything like this before. Kids are asking their parents if they can switch sports, while new fans are asking:
“Why do so many people love football?”
“Why do fans spend thousands just to watch their country play?”
According to reports, this World Cup could break the record for the highest attendance ever.

“I’m so grateful that we were able to get such a great turnout from not only our fans but also the Türkiye fans that they created such a good atmosphere and such a good game in Canada. So grateful to the country of Canada for hosting our first game.”
