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.

Well there is a good side to that, you can PVR a game during the day and not know who wins on your drive home. In fact this was not even discussed during my sons soccer game and England had played that very day.
Calgary is great for that, since moving here in the 90s i have never had a score accidentally revealed to me by any flag waivers or for that matter, conspicuous silence in Italian or Argentinian neighborhoods.
