In case you're wondering why you just seem to care that much more about the results of World Cup matches than your friends in Detroit and New Orleans, this list should give you a hint. Estately found that Maryland is the second most soccer-friendly state in the country, with D.C. coming in right behind them. The amount of fans going to D.C. United games (no matter how beleaguered the team may get) and the number of soccer-friendly boozing establishments per capita contributes strongly to this ranking.
