The only road from the hotels and beaches of Recife’s Boa Viagem to the Arena Pernambuco was under a foot of water the morning USA faced Germany. Locals spoke in hushed tones of having to postpone the game because of lashing rains and flash floods, but American fans were having none of it.
They left early for the mid-day kick-off, packing buses, piling into cars and bundling en masse aboard the city’s metro. They cheered and chanted the whole way, a long way. Some wore red, white and blue bikinis, others dressed as former presidents back from the dead to support the Stars and Stripes at the FIFA World Cup™ in Brazil.
