Growing up in Pittsburgh, we were always huge football fans. It wasn’t until Max was born and I lived in NYC that I learned what the real meaning behind “futbol” was.
This sport was HUGE. Almost bigger than Steeler Nation. And with Maximo’s family being from two large soccer countries – Uruguay and Guatemala – this sport was quickly loved in the home.
What isn’t there to love about soccer? It’s a super fun sport to watch in person, and there’s nothing better than yelling GOOOOOOOOOOOAL in unison at an Uruguayan parrillada. While it’s fun to watch at home, it really a sport best enjoyed with others.
Plus, it’s REALLY fun when you’re wearing your Suarez jersey on the streets of NYC and get high fives from random strangers.
While we love to watch the games on tv (in Spanish is even better!) and cheer on URU, it’s even better when the International Champions Cup comes to the US – AND NEW YORK!
What is the ICC?
The International Champions Cup is the world’s premier summer soccer tournament featuring the world’s top professional players and clubs like Real Madrid, FC Bayern and Arsenal to name a few. This year, the ICC will host 11 matches in the United States in some of the country’s most iconic stadiums including the Red Bull Arena (July 24 ACF Fiorentina Vs. Benfica) and MetLife Stadium (July 26 Real Madid V Athletico Madrid).
