We bought tickets for three Copa America games but we didn't know who would be playing in the 3rd since it was a quarter-final. So fun for us that it turned out to be the USA against Ecuador!
People were all decked out in red, white and blue to cheer enthusiastically for the USA!
Seattle has lots of soccer fans and they turned out to support the team. It was so much fun to be in such an enthusiastic crowd and to get to watch such a thrilling game! The US went up 2 goals but Ecuador battled back to score one and then, in the words of one commentary, 'threw everything but the kitchen sink' at the goal but just couldn't get the ball in the net. The US defense did a lot of frantic scrambling but they were successful at keeping out the goal that would have tied the game.
Players and fans were super excited after the game!
A date with Argentina in the semis looms....#1 team in the world, with the best player in the world. Soccer is a funny game when anything can happen but if I were a betting person I wouldn't put my money on the US!
