The crowd down in Atlanta, that town has become a soccer town.
00:07
They're outdrawing the Falcons.
00:09
They get crazy rabid soccer fans down there.
00:13
And it was the same thing again for the Copa opener with Messi in town, as you would expect.
00:18
He's doing that wherever he goes, playing for that Miami team, but playing with the
00:22
Argentinian team's a different scene altogether.
00:26
Oh yeah, I mean, even one of the fun things about Copa America, just as an entire tournament,
00:33
is the whole thing is just a party and a celebration of soccer.
00:37
So no matter what, whether you have Uruguay or Chile or Colombian fans coming to town,
00:44
they're all just there to party and have a good time, even if their team's not actually
00:49
winning.
00:50
And it's one of those cool things that's a taste of what we're going to see in 2026 with
00:55
the World Cup here.
