Americans outsing Guatemalans
At the Soccer World Cup quallifying match in Brimingham Wed. night, the crowd of 31,000 probably included 10 - 15,000 Guatemalans. These soccer nuts will follow their national team anywhere. A few came from Central America, but most were US immigrants - legal and other - who came in cars, vans, and busses. All had Guat jerseys, flags, and apparel.
The Guat national anthem came first, and they were singing with Gusto and volume. I suspected the American were going to be embarassed.
But when stadium supremacy was on the line, the Americans screamed out the lyrics of our Star Spangled Banner, easily winning the first battle of the night, and amazing the crowd.
And two goals clinched the game, and the valuable 3 qualifying points for us too.
