USA beats Paraguay before a sellout crowd 4-1 and national anthem before match is sung wonderfully by CW duo Dan and Shay. The crowd is singing along including actor Tom Cruise and chants of "USA USA" were being done before the anthem. Players showed respect while anthem was played and USA fans had a wonderful time. Link of anthem below.

Got to love two moments during the World Cup so far. After Scotland won their match in Boston, thousands of fans later went to the Boston Red Sox game that night.  Late in the game, they literally took over Fenway Park singing Scottish pop songs. They also appear to be having a whole bunch of fun in Boston partying.

The other thing that was awesome was after Japan winning their match. Hundreds of their supporters had trash bags and were cleaning up garbage that was left in the stadium, never seen that in US major sporting event.

By all major TV/Newspaper accounts and social media, the foreign visitors appear to be having a great time at the World Cup. They seem to really enjoy being in the US and discovering that the country is more than just big cities like NY or LA. They are seeing this is a beautiful country with friendly people and different type of food that has been a hit with our visitors. In addition, Americans have fallen in love with our visitors like the Tartan Army from Scotland who have taken Boston by storm. In other words, the World Cup has not been destroyed.
