## Resource

Jamie Druley, a lifelong American football fan, got hooked on the World Cup after seeing Scottish fans go wild—and now he’s yelling at his TV, betting with his boss, and even eyeing season tickets. He’s not alone: millions of Americans are tuning in, making this the most-watched soccer event in U.S. history. The global vibe—sportsmanship, unity, humanity—is captivating viewers, sparking pickup leagues, and reigniting passion for the game. And while Jamie still calls it “soccer,” he’s stuck on “football” for now—some habits just won’t die. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
