I actually saw a knockout-stage game (can I call it a playoff game?) at the Rose Bowl in 1994, Romania vs. Argentina. As an event it was a lot of fun, not least because I had a broken ankle and got to sit in the close-in handicapped seating. :)

But if Disney wants to (further) increase the appeal of the game to Yanks, it seems to me they ought to make the TV presentation of it more Yank-friendly.

I was at that game, too. What fun, I remember it being hot. My friend and I went to a bar afterward to let the traffic clear (we were taking the bus! back to LA), and it was filled with morose Argentinians. Then, two girls draped in Argentina flags walked in, and everyone stood up and started clapping. Then the party began (actually, continued).
