I've never been a soccer (football) fan. However, I was in England earlier this year visiting all my relatives (I was born there; only my immediate family is in Canada) and I enjoyed watching a few games. Everyone I met over there is right into it. Everyone is wearing football shirts, the kids are playing it in the streets, and it is hot topic at every corner pub. I have to admit I got a little caught up in it and found myself watching as well.
Oh yeah, go Newcastle! Newcastle is about a 40 minute drive from my home town of Darlington, England.
