With all three host countries out of the tournament and no World Cup games today, some of us are emerging from a soccer stupor and checking in with our NSL, NWSL, Liga MX, MLS, CPL, and USL sides, which has got me wondering: what team or competition do Lemmings follow from the host countries? And, for those of you located in a host country, has following this World Cup encouraged you to support your local soccer team?
Soccer is a minor sport in Australia compared to others. I don’t really watch it but after we hosted the women’s world cup a few years ago I did give the local A League a look. It just wasn’t for me but I did try.
I’ll watch the odd international game (even other countries) if it lines up now so the world cup did improve my opinion of the game, even if it didn’t convert me to a fan.
