World Cup a part of our everyday

I have a couple favorite morning coffee stops on my way to work. One of them is an industrious guy in a coffee cart on Lafayette right off of Bleecker Street. He has some of the lowest prices around (though today he raised them about 15 cents, which I agreed with - I always felt that he could raise his volume by charging cent-rounded prices, i.e., $1.25, instead of counting out change for $1.65 or $1.85.)

Anyway, today the line was plein-full of World Cup talk. This is the kind of morning chatter that makes getting coffee in a highly public area so fun. That's also the beauty of the World Cup - from Germany, to a little coffee cart in downtown Manhattan.
