The World Cup, as everyone knows by now, has been taking place across several cities in stadiums that have surprised foreign visitors by being gigantic and air-conditioned. [snip] Overwhelmingly, they are blown away by the abundance of food, both in restaurants and in grocery stores, not just in amount but in variety (e.g., the dozens and dozens of varieties of coffee, or cereal, or snacks). They have been likewise overwhelmed by the size of everything, from onions to sandwiches to steaks to stores to cars. They found refreshing the unashamed patriotism, evident by all the flags.

Those who have come here and are impressed will go home with stories to tell, they'll be criminalized for spreading disinformation, just watch.

I volunteer at the National World War II Museum We have a significant number of mainly European patrons. Also from India, Australia and some from the Far East. They constantly compliment the USA as being so warm, friendly, accommodating and just plain nice. Often stating that their country of original lacks so many positive qualities that the average US citizen displays. Of course if they are visiting the WW II museum, they are highly unlikely to run into the Hate America First liberal elitist. Many soccer fans have recently visited and rave how wonderful an experience it has been for them to see the USA.

YouTube is filled with videos from people who came here for the World Cup and they're wonderful to watch. These people now realize they've been snookered by propaganda. A few have indicated that when they return to their home countries they'll begin the visa process so that they can move here. The 2 links below are "shorts" but there are sooooo many similar videos.

Thanks, OP, for posting.
Of course. Everything in America is and always has been bigger and better despite what the globalists and the various msms want people to believe. As we see, propaganda has its limits. In other words, in this modern world, seeing is believing. The human mind can only be manipulated so much before it says, ruh roh, something is wrong. Sorry, lefties and commies around the globe (this includes you, Obie), your little leftist charade is done, well done, and very well over done.

Takers are almost always resentful of their benefactors. Foreign governments must denigrate and denounce the generous USA to convince their citizens they are not inferior.

Many FIFA visitors for the first time are seeing the true cost of Socialism back home. Hopefully some here will learn as well.

Foreign visitors often are amazed at certain American foods. One Russian scientist that I brought over here on a research project absolutely fell in love with Wendy's chili. When my wife and I visited St. Petersburg on a vacation trip, we brought the makings for chili and a good, home tested recipe. Mrs. DVC taught his wife how to make a good batch of chili, and we left enough chili seasonings for her to make a number of batches. Ground beef is essentially unavailable in Russia, so the wives had to hand chop it very fine. The chili was good, a major hit, and Yuri and Tatyana had a good time when we were there. Yuri took us to dinner at a fine restaurant on the coast near St. Pete. When the restaurant owner found out that we were Americans he was very proud to tell us that an item on the plate was Eidaahoe. My wife and I puzzled over that for a few long moments before realizing that he was proud of his Idaho potatoes.....even in Russia, where potatoes are a staple.....Idaho potatoes are what they proudly serve in fancy restaurants.
Our Ukrainian friends, mother, father and daughter, greatly enjoyed BBQ at the local restaurant. When trying to explain to her, in Ukraine before their visit what barbacued meat was....she didn't grasp it, even though her English is quite good. Her version...."So, this is some fried meat?" I laughed and said, "No, it is not fried meat. You will try some when you are in Kansas."
After eating BBQ and the three getting different things and exchanging bites.....I asked "So, is this fried meat?" She grinned and said, "No, this is not fried meat....this is much better, it is barbecue."
American foods are very good, extremely varied and foreigners are always amazed at BBQ.

I remember when the hopelessly overrated and sexually perverted Marlon Brando played the lead role in a 1960's film adaptation of the book, "The Ugly American." That was really the beginning of the Post WWII "introspection movement" of the society in which intellectuals were urging all Americans to thing carefully about whether WE or the World has a better way of addressing global issues involving other nationalities, races, even classes. Any unapologetic, self-confident, and secure American male will always lose that leftist-humanist game. It's "cooked" in.

I have enjoyed the various videos of news reporters letting them tell of their American experiences and first impressions. I wonder if there will be any changes made in their home countries because of what they have seen and experienced here. Buc-ees in Germany? I didn't realize this was going to be going on for several months so they will be good and acclimated to our lives when they go home.

I wasn’t looking forward to the World Cup being here but after watching and listening to the visitors, seeing the big smiles and unabashed amazement it’s wonderful! What a terrific gift for America as we celebrate our 250th birthday!

The anti-American propaganda is also why American products are prohibited from being sold in Europe. The peons in Europe can't know that their way of life is inferior to that in the U.S. I'm surprised they let anyone from Europe visit the U.S. least the truth gets out.

A good start, but the ultimate test will be if they get a clue why President Trump won the popular vote last election. The media is a collection of evil liars, all over the world, and the only hope for humanity is to expose them for the continuous propaganda touting the inhuman leftist theories on government and individual freedom.

Social media has broken the monopoly of the MSM. While it can be used to spread disinformation (think election years), it can also be used to counter disinformation. It does my heart good to hear Brits say what a wonderful country America is and how much they enjoyed their visit. I am also seeing videos of fraudsters being arrested all throughout the country, as well as videos posted by black content creators about Black Fatigue (they are as tired of the self proclaimed entitled as the rest of us). Perhaps there is hope for us to avoid the fate of turning into Western Europe.

It would be a hope that these Europeans return to their countries and start to instigate the reversal of the years
of government control. American once again freeing Europe ...only different.

The truth is getting out.
Decades of European government and media propaganda against the American people and our country and our food, all severely damaged by a month of hundreds of thousands of foreign visitors discovering the REAL America, and REAL Americans.
