The Nepal team gave a pumpkin to thank all the fans for coming out to support them today despite losing to the Netherlands. The official attendees just shouted over the speakers, 5500. Yes, of course. If today was 5500, then the USA game did not break 4000. Today was a full 7K. pic.twitter.com/8AmQWppHFH
