Laurent Denis has no such qualms.
A native of Bordeaux (like the wine), he married a woman from Kansas City and moved here in 1995. Just three years later, he was at Le Fou Frog watching the French national team win the World Cup title by crushing Brazil 3-0 in Paris.

“We had a bunch of friends screaming and waving flags,” Denis said, “and I painted my face.”

Denis, who coaches the Force Soccer Academy, believes the World Cup is a great time for young players to learn from the best.

“I’ve been coaching youth soccer for the last 10 years,” Denis said. “I tell the parents if they want their kids to get better in this sport, then they need to watch it. And the World Cup is the right time to watch it, because these are the best players in the world.”
