I watched that match in a crowded, raucous pub. England led 1-0 at the half and seemed to have things in control until Croatia tied it 1-1 in the 68th minute. You have never experienced such a sudden dive from total elation to total deflation in so short a period of time. England is a football-mad country that has won exactly one World Cup title, in 1966. They still talk about it to this day, and ever shall. Every four years, hope springs eternal that maybe this will be the year.
In 2014 my wife and I traveled to Asheville, North Carolina, for a craft show. Back then she had a side business making and selling very nice handmade dolls, and secured a booth at a prestigious craft/artisan show in a very artsy, bohemian city. I spent part of my time helping her with the booth, and part of the time sneaking out to local bars to watch Germany beat Argentina/Messi in the World Cup final.
The World Cup is a different animal because it pits the very best players from the best soccer countries from around the world. This can get the old juices flowing, no matter how indifferent you are to a Premiere League match pitting West Ham against Southampton.
BTW, being from South Africa, are you a rugby fan? I know they have one of the better teams and programs there. My nephew was a university rugby player in the U.S. and has traveled to tournaments in South Africa, Europe, and elsewhere to play. He now coaches at the university level.
Stewards surrounded the small contingent of Florence fans like a riot squad. After the game, they stayed in their seats while the Rome fans departed. Then the Florentines were escorted safely to their awaiting buses to return home (in this case, sad after a 1-0 loss).
If you go to a game in Europe, you'll pay a premium to watch teams in the top professional leagues, such as England's Premier League or Italy's Serie A. But if you settle for lesser teams in lower divisions (kind of like minor-league baseball), you can usually get a seat.
Soccer fever heats up in Europe for major tournaments like the quadrennial European Championships (a.k.a. the Euro Cup) and World Cup. Look for huge TV screens at major parks and plazas as locals gather the cheer on the home team.
Whether you're in Europe during a championship or during the regular the season, plop yourself down in a pub, caf, beer garden, or sports bar and ask a fan to explain his or her national obsession. Many Europeans place their national, regional, and personal pride on the backs of their athletes. It's a clich that remains true: In a Europe at peace, the soccer field is the battleground.
American football (soccer) fans decked out in red, white and blue flocked to stadiums and giant TV screens on Tuesday to cheer their national team in a World Cup clash with Belgium that could be the most-watched soccer game in U.S. history.
Strong performances by the U.S. team in Brazil have ignited passions in a country not known for its love of soccer. Though the Americans were underdogs in the match in Salvador's Fonte Nova arena, they went 0-0 for the first 90 minutes, losing 2-1 in extra time. And they gained plenty of new fans.
Showing the spread of World Cup fever in areas obsessed with a different sort of football, some 2,000 fans lined up an hour early at the home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys - the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas - to watch on one of the world's biggest video screens.
"This is the way this game should be watched. We need a big screen for a big game,'' said Evan Grant, 23, who had an American flag draped over his shoulders and a blue Mohawk with red and white stripes painted on his head.
I really think we have a chance this time, we have finally arrived,'' said Epson, who was wearing a U.S. team shirt. "... I've waited my whole life for this moment. It's so awesome to finally be here.''
At the Campus Lounge bar in Denver, owner and former NHL Chicago Blackhawks ice hockey player Jim Wiste said that, for the first time, he had a home team to root for in soccer. Everyone in the bar stood for the U.S. national anthem before kickoff.

Managing editor and logophile Andy Hollandbeck reveals the sometimes surprising roots of common English words and phrases. Remember: Etymology tells us where a word comes from, but not what it means today.
The word soccer was considered mere slang in Great Britain, and as rugby became more prevalent over the longer Rugby football, soccer became less necessary. So the British joined with the naming predilections of the rest of Europe and simply called the game football, because there could no longer be any confusion.
Meanwhile, both games made it to North America as well, but clubs over here continued to tinker with the rules. In 1869, rugby teams from Princeton and Rutgers played a version that, among other rule changes, allowed for a forward pass, a move that, then as well as today, is illegal in standard rugby rules. They liked the rule, and continued to play the game.
