I've just been in the Netherlands for a week ( I 'm from England) and I loved watching the World Cup coverage on Dutch TV. A real highlight was watching Netherlands v Sweden with a massive of Orange fans. I love that a shared love of football can start a long conversation with shared passions.

Incidentally I am a West Ham United season ticket holder and one of our club sayings ever since the World Cup final of 1966 has been West Ham 4 - Germany 2! ⚒️

So glad you're enjoying your experiences this time around.

That sounds incredible! Hope West Ham gets back to the Premiere League this year.

I had no idea there were games being played in Chattanooga! Very cool!

No games, just team training. Spain is staying in Chattanooga and training at a local private school that is nestled along the Tennessee River near the mountains. They’ve been commuting to Atlanta for their first two games, but are playing in Mexico next and will fly back and forth

still very cool though! Seeing these mega famous players go to restaurants that we’ve been to and walking around town is wild

The best! Croatia is training nearish here and I was hoping to figure out how to catch a glance. Thanks for sharing!

You definitely should! This will likely be Luka Modrić’s final world cup, so seeing him train, or just in any capacity, would be awesome.

This WV native kid (now living in north GA) will be at DR Congo vs Uzbekistan this weekend! A WC match has been on my bucket list, but I didn’t think I’d get the opportunity, and then I won tickets from a silly bar game.

I'll be down in the lower bowl cheering for Congo and if I understand correctly Mboladinga will be there now that he's cleared quarantine.

That's so cool! I'm jealous. That will be a really fun game to see.
