This past Saturday, June 12th, was a full house at Studio Square beer garden in Astoria, Queens. A good 1,000 young Americans came out wearing red, white and blue, waving and wearing their flags, chanting against the Queen and teabags, and even drumming Native American-sounding beats on a bongo drum to support their country in the USA vs. England game.
Amongst the sea of white Caucasians in their 20's and early 30's, and even a few children, the melting pot of Queens was also sprinkled among the masses, including Irish, Bolivian and Ecuadorian immigrants to name just a few. All shared the same cheer that day.
I don't think I've seen such American pride and unity since Obama's election. Check it out for yourselves here.
The game was tied 1:1.
