World Cup inspires new generation of soccer fans in Phoenix
The FIFA World Cup wrapped up Sunday afternoon, and for many in the Valley, it was more than just a sporting event, it was a turning point. First-time fans packed venues like the George and Dragon English Pub in Phoenix, where owner David Wimberley says he saw more energy and more supporters this year than in any World Cup before. "It's been incredible," Wimberley said. "This year, I would say, was the best turnout we've ever had for a World Cup."
