## Resource

The World Cup kicked off with fireworks — and a little controversy. At Toronto’s FIFA Fan Festival, fans erupted in cheers for Canada and Mexico during the opening ceremony, but turned on the U.S. flag with boos — a clear sign of simmering rivalries even before the first match. With Mexico vs. South Africa kicking things off and Canada’s debut against Bosnia-Herzegovina looming, the energy is electric. The festival, running through July 19th, promises more than just games — food, fun, and fan frenzy. This is just the beginning of a tournament packed with passion, pride, and plenty of drama.
