As international fans visit America for the World Cup games they are sharing their experiences online.  Here is what one British man said while visiting a rodeo.

“I still haven’t got my head around what we experienced in the US because I’m from the UK. You know, the UK is a bit soft. We went to a rodeo on a casual Thursday night. Didn’t think much of it. We get there, the atmosphere is nice and bubbly.We’re watching Big Bulls be ridden. Next thing you know, there’s three men trying to hold one down and the horn launches into one guy’s head. He gets flipped over, separate, almost separated from consciousness. I’m thinking at this point, ambulance must be called. If it was the UK, ambulance would be called immediately. But nope, they just picked him up, brushed him off, sat him down, gave him a beer, and carried on like nothing had ever happened. If that was in the UK, the ambulance would have been called. The whole event would have been shut off. Americans are built completely differently.”
