I used to be even more into them as a kid, but I love big events like this. I don't care about a lot of the sports outside of the 4 years, but as soon as they are on I am in Olympic mode. Same goes for the Euro and World Cup. I eat it all up, and like being around others who do too.

That's one thing I really miss about NY....during the WC it seems like the whole city just turns into a big soccer town (bound to happen with so many foreigners), and people shutdown to watch games and drink and socialize. Don't really seem to get that in Calgary, which is a bit of a shame.
