Fan scenes from the World Cup's first week

Translated & summarized from Calcalist by baba
The story · English

A photo roundup from the first week of the World Cup shows supporters of many teams turning matches into a global street party, from Mexico's opening game at the LA Memorial Coliseum to Brazil fans filling Brooklyn. The images also capture Sweden supporters celebrating, Dutch fans traveling in large numbers to a match against Japan, and Japanese fans finding reason to celebrate after the final whistle.

Other photos show Australian fans determined to keep drinking beer, women carrying two flags before Iran's opening game, one of them the old pre-revolution flag of Iran and the other the Israeli flag. The series also includes Argentina fans in the stands, Colombia supporters singing the anthem with intensity, and England fans celebrating.

The captions present the World Cup as much about the supporters as the football itself, highlighting national colors, songs, travel, and celebration across several host-city scenes.
