about the fans from around the world and their impressions of us.

Those people are having a blast too. The Dutch have a huge orange bus that they shipped over to travel around in, and they fill their section of the stadium with bright orange shirts.
The Algerian team was adopted by Lawrence Kansas. The KU marching bank learned the Algerian National anthem and played it for them at their first practice. The players in turn held a clinic for kids in the area.

Tonight I watched a tour of the stadiums and currently they are interviewing fans in Texas.
The Scottish team went to Fenway and marched a humongeous crowd into Fenway park led by a large contingent of bagpipers.
