Football Mania

The excitement of World Cup soccer is happening here in Cambodia as in all the world. Bars and restuarants are staying open all night to allow patrons to watch and, of course, purchase food and drink. On the streets, people have brought out televisions for the night guards and workers who live nearby to watch. Even though Cambodia is not involved in the games, people here still enjoy watching football. I still always say soccer because it feels weird to say football. As you can see in the picture, Sovann, Bunna, and Sopecktra are wearing the t-shirts with the World Cup logo. Rick is still able to keep up with his Rangers through the internet. The television stations here show a few baseball games, but they are reruns and mostly the Yankees. ESPN is an Aisian network, so it shows mostly soccer. But thanks to the internet, news about the sports back home is only a click away! Gail
