I was at the Big O so some notes for anyone interested
Brazil/Spain: There were far more Brazilian supporters in the stand, and they were LOUD. Spain really didn't do much, and Brazil was not in top form either. The match was ok made great by the ruckus Brazilian crowd.
S.Korea/Costa Rica: What an awesome game. A weird thing happened at about the 10 minute mark where anyone who wasn't a Korean supporter decided to support Costa Rica. Ever little thing CR did was wildly cheered by the crowd. And when they tied the game at the end, it really felt like the roof would blow off, it was insanely loud.
Overall, it was one of the best sporting experiences that I ever had. I imagine the atmosphere is the same everywhere so i highly recommend going to catch a game. Attendance was 28,623, which is pretty good for MTL considering neither Canada nor France were involved.
