Quote from Union Tribune columnist Nick Canepa: 07/04/10 "Have you seen the television numbers here during the World Cup? We are the Mecca of U.S. soccer. We are Rio, Milan , Madrid, Manchester , Buenos Aires. Our bars are packed on game days." link to article: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/jul/03/soccer-mad-city-shut-out-mls/
