For those of you that are horribly deflated after yesterday's heartbreaker of a World Cup match and just don't want to talk about it (UGH!), take solace in this: most of the teams your international friends have been rooting for have already been knocked out, too. Admittedly, the field has now been narrowed from thirty-two teams to eight, so of course fewer people have a personal stake in the Cup. But believe it or not, the competing team with the most representation in D.C. was Côte D'Ivoire.
There are 63,970 residents in the District that hail from the African nation and were likely disappointed that their team didn't make it out of the first round. The same is true for the competing country with the second highest percentage of international residents in D.C., South Korea. Although we'd made some guesses as to which local neighborhoods had strong pockets of international support, Redfin took a closer look at the numbers in each city. Take a look after the jump to see just how many residents from each non-American competing country live in D.C. and who might potentially still have a stake in the final match.
