CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 17, 2026
AMERICANS HAVE DISCOVERED SOCCER, OR FOOTBALL AS MOST OTHER NATIONS CALL IT. STADIUMS ARE FULL. TV RATINGS ARE PROBABLY HIGH. THE WORLD IS WATCHING.
FOREIGN VISITORS ATTENDING THE 2026 FIFA WORLD CUP ARE GOING VIRAL FOR THEIR ENTHUSIASTIC, UNVARNISHED PRAISE OF AMERICA. MANY VISITORS ARE TAKING ROAD TRIPS ACROSS MIDDLE AMERICA AND AVOIDING THE TOURIST TRAPS.
VISITORS APPEAR “GOB SMACKED” AS THE EUROPEANS SAY AT AMERICAN FOOD AND CULTURE. A GERMAN FAN VISITED A WAFFLE HOUSE AT 1 AM. HE SAID HE DISCOVERED THE QUALITIES OF RANCH DRESSING. OTHERS PRAISED HOW EVERYTHING IS AIR CONDITIONED.
MANY ARE POSTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA, RAVING ABOUT FAST FOOD PLACES. MEGASTORES HAVE LEFT VISITOS IN AWE OF THE SHEER SCALE AND VARIETY OF AMERICAN SHOPPING.
IN A WIDELY VIEWED VIDEO FROM NEW ENGLAND, VISITING SOCCER FANS WERE RECORDED SERENADING THEIR AMERICAN NEIGHBORHOOD HOSTS WITH BAGPIPES. JAPANESE FANS AND SOME PLAYERS WERE SEEN CLEANING UP THE DALLAS STADIUM AFTER THE GAME.
IT APPEARS FOREIGNERS LOVE AMERICA MORE THAN SOME OF US DO. JUST 29 PERCET OF DEMOCATS SAY THEY ARE PROUD TO BE AMERICANS, WHILE 90 PERCENT OF REPUBLICANS LOVE THEIR COUNTRY. SAD. I’M CAL THOMAS.
