(Reuters) - Chip Shop is a popular spot for Brooklyn football fans, but the restaurant was nevertheless stunned by the crowd that turned out on Monday night to watch the United States women's team make its 2015 World Cup debut against Australia.
Owner Chris Sell said the FIFA Women's World Cup had "never been that big" in past years. But then he saw his 70-seat British-style pub fill up for the live television broadcast, mostly with cheering women decked out in football jerseys.
