Man, the World Cup is reaching a feverish pitch in Vancouver. I live in the downtown core (West End), and celebrations continue through the night until 5 or 6 in the morning. Huge crowds cheering their teams on, cars honking their horns and waving flags, noisemakers galore. Non-stop through the night, scattered in different locations. The din reverberates throughout the city. Gotta love it. I'm not terribly big into soccer, and Canada as usual did not qualify (but are represented on the English team by Owen Hargreaves). However, I love the excitement!

As an aside in honour of our local soccer team (Whitecaps):

(chorus)
White is the Colour, Soccer is the Game,
We're all together, and winning is our aim.
So cheer us on through the sun and rain,
'Cause Whitecaps, Whitecaps is our name.

(stanza 1)
Come to the park and we'll welcome you,
Wear our white, and see us through,
Sing loud and clear till the day is done,
Sing "Whitecaps" everyone.

(repeat chorus)
White is the Colour, Soccer is the Game,
We're all together, and winning is our aim.
So cheer us on through the sun and rain,
'Cause Whitecaps, Whitecaps is our name.

(stanza 2)
Cheer us on whether rain or fine,
We can shine, all the time.
Home or away come and see us play,
You're welcome any day. HEY!!

(repeat chorus)
White is the Colour, Soccer is the Game,
We're all together, and winning is our aim.
So cheer us on through the sun and rain,
'Cause Whitecaps, Whitecaps is our name.

(repeat chorus)
White is the Colour, Soccer is the Game,
We're all together, and winning is our aim.
So cheer us on through the sun and rain,
'Cause Whitecaps, Whitecaps is our name
