Forget Prom: High School Students Buzzing About Women’s World Cup

ALLENDALE, N.J. (CBSNewYork) – The Women’s World Cup began Friday.

The overwhelming favorite to win is the same team that celebrated four years ago: Team USA.

The tournament is expected to attract 1 billion viewers worldwide, and the biggest audience might be high schoolers.

Senior prom is Friday night at Northern Highlands High School, but the talk in the halls is about the Women’s World Cup, CBS2’s Steve Overmyer reported.

“Will you guys be huddled around the TV, watching?” Overmyer asked.

“Oh my gosh, definitely we will be. I’m sure we’ll have all U.S. gear on! American flags everywhere, cheering for them,” said Northern Highlands senior Olivia Holman.

Soccer is for those that have nothing better to do. Apparently, the world is a boring place.

Trolling is not the same as supporting the USWNT.

I just think soccer is a boring sport. No biggie. I love golf. You may think that’s a boring sport.

I wouldn’t get upset at anyone for expressing that opinion.

Still nothing better to do?
You are five posts in now telling me soccer is boring.

I am not angry.
I am very happily watching the WC on my 65inch 4K HDTV while spending 15 seconds at a time on my iPad Pro playing a troll - to keep showing he has nothing better to do.

It’s not likely you are going out and kissing a willing young lady.

Look, we’re fellow Freepers and have more important fish to fry.

I don’t want to be negative toward a fellow Freeper.

Enjoy the soccer game. :)
