I can’t speak for the entire country, but I can speak for my own backyard.
My baseball-obsessed 7 year old hasn’t ever so much as touched a soccer ball in his life and now he’s spending his evenings out here pretending he’s Flo Balogun.
I don’t think it’s possible to overstate the impact this World Cup will have on this sport’s popularity in America.
On this day in 2003 (2/11/2003), during Mike Modano’s 1,000th NHL game, the Stars’ Aaron Downey squares off against the Hurricanes’ Jesse Boulerice during the 1st period. Downey KO’s him with one punch.
