Some of the questions being asked are below:

Why is your country’s food the best?
Why is your country’s music the best?
Why is your country’s nature the prettiest?
Why are your people the most beautiful?
Why is your immigrant community NYC’s best?
oh, and…Why is your soccer team the best?!

The Immigrant World Cup will continue throughout the world up on the Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC.
