Hunter,
Hope you and your people are well.
It may be media hype, as per normal, but soccer seems to be getting a serious following over there because of the World Championships, and not just among suburban mothers. I just read somewhere that a petition to the White House has been launched to rename Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington Tim Howard Airport after your brilliant goalkeeper. They say that if it reaches 100,000 signatures there has to be some kind of official response.
Not much of a soccer fan myself (Australian Rules, Rugby League/Rugby Union are my preferences and I donât really understand American football), but Team USA played well in Brazil. Theyâre out now having lost to Belgium, but their passion and dedication put the over-hyped Brits and Italians to shame.
Back to the grindstone...
Best
