Vermont Goes Wild for World Cup Soccer

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is here and kicking off with electric energy—Mexico stunned South Africa in the opener, and the buzz is spreading fast across the U.S., especially in Shelburne, Vermont. Tennybrooke Square has become a soccer epicenter, packed with dedicated spots: the Eight Zero Two Soccer Lab for training, the Slide-In Pub for game-day vibes, and the Soccer Post, stocked with jerseys from U.S., Mexico, Canada, England—and even local rivals like Boston and Philly. Owner Jacob Labovitz is riding the wave of growing soccer fandom, while Joe Fox of the Slide-In Pub sees this as the most special tournament ever—designed for fans who crave the ultimate soccer experience. With the U.S. Men’s Team set to face Paraguay on June 12th, the tournament is poised to be a massive, unforgettable event. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
