Re: North American hockey fans interest in soccer?
When I was in Sweden a few weeks ago, I was there with a colleague from the UK, and he was all high and mighty about soccer and talking about how we just don't get it. He made a comment abount how soccer is the most popular sport in every country but the US, which is wildly inaccurate. To try to prove this too me, for some reason, he started to strike up a conversation with our bartender about soccer, and how great it was. I just shook my head, and knowing that we were in Sweden, I had the upper hand...I cut in and brought up hockey. Bartender dude said, and I quote, "Soccer is good, but there is nothing better than hockey!!!". Then we proceded to talk about world juniors for about 20 minutes. My coworker was dumbfounded.
