We did our biannual cleanup of San Tomas Aquino Creek from Tasman to Montague this morning. A little more trash than usual (lots of Super Bowl detritus) and I found a carton of cigs with Arabic writing, so something a little different.
It has been fun hanging out with fans from all over in our parking lot. The Turks dancing on the tops of their cars might be the best and I also liked the Paraguayans and Austrians I met. Plus anyone from Australia is an instant party. After today's cleanup we had sandos in the conference room and watched the fightin' Dembeles and Norway. How ever far the US gets, I don't see any way on these green and brown earth they could ever beat France. Dembele was like a traffic report. Goals on the eights. Loved the French fan with a Route 66 patch.
There are still fans wandering around Santa Clara. Someone on the creek trail with an obviously European accent asked us why they didn't have a Rumba that would clean the creek. The working joke was that had Japan played at the Stadium Formerly and Soon Enough Known as Levi's, we'd be out of a job.
I imagine you're gonna be mobbed on Weds there with the USA facing Bosnia.
USA "should" win that game, notwithstanding any lack of defending by Pulisic.
But "should" is part of "shoulda coulda woulda" so I will be eagerly hopeful to see the on-paper winner actually become the on-pitch winner.
Before that, the Tues game of France v Sweden to be held in the formerly, and later-to-be, known as Met Life stadium, in likely very hot conditions. Not sure if or how might affect game outcome.
