Anyone else going to before game World Cup rally's?

I went with my son to a Dutch rally when they played Japan here in Dallas. In one word “Amazing” to be out with the Netherlands fan base prior to a game. Unbelievable energy and fun. I honestly can’t put it into words. I wanted to cut over to where the Japanese were pre gaming but we were too caught up.

My other son went with his fiancé to party with the Korean’s( she is Korean) but they instead spent a crazy night partying with Mexico fans at Mexico vs Korea in Houston.

I’m watching my tik tok feed with jealousy of the parties in Boston. Is anyone else getting out for this experience? It’s an unbelievable cultural moment if you get out. I can’t afford the tickets to the game but there is still an experience to be had. I’m looking at the schedule now and plan to head downtown for the games.

I actually gave my hat away to a random Dutch guy who couldn’t have been happier. 😆

This is next level cultural event with beer!
