My first real exposure to soccer was World Cup 94 in the States. They played a few games in the Pontiac Silverdome, which is close to me. I first saw USA and Switzerland draw, and that was alot of fun. But nothing could prepare me for the sheer madness that would take over the city of Pontiac the following week. Somehow... we scored tickets to Brazil vs Sweden... freaking unbelievable. I was an instant fan of international soccer if not for the insane fans alone.
After that I really got into the English Premiership, which in turn made me a big England fan come World Cup 98. Mother fucking Argentina...
No, I've never been to a soccer game in Europe, but it's on my list of things to do in life. I really would like to see a game at Anfield in Liverpool. A World Cup trip would be very awesome too...
