FIFA Soccer -- June 26, 2026

Locator: 51060FIFA.  

Enjoying the game last night at The Thirsty Lion -- walking distance from our apartment --

Query

Could FIFA soccer become a bigger economic event than the Olympics? The FIFA soccer world cup is. held every four years just like the Olympics.

Personal: I don't enjoy watching soccer all that much and I can't recall ever watching a sports event in a sports bar except as a place to hang out while waiting for our #2 granddaughter to finish her own soccer practice. But last night, I specifically reserved a table at Thirsty Lion (a sports bar) for our daughter's family to join me to watch USA get beaten by Turkey, 3-2.  USA was already assured of advancing so this was mostly a scrimmage and a lot of fun between two very good teams.
