World Cup Flags
It's been said that soccer will never catch on in the United States, but try telling that to the folks at a house in North Caldwell, New Jersey, who decorated their front lawn for FIFA's World Cup tournament as if it were Christmas! :-D
The flags of many of the participants - I can spot Uruguay, Germany, South Africa, Mexico, Spain and Paraguay, and of course the United States - flutter in the breeze around a strategically placed and colorfully painted soccer ball.
Sorry there's no Canadian flag, as I've posted this picture on Canada Day, but the truth is, America's neighbors north of the border are even less adept at soccer than Americans have been. In fact, Canadians are as good at soccer as we Americans are at establishing public medical insurance. Canada has only been in the World Cup once - in 1986.
