Soccer is catching on in the U.S. as fast as having your teeth pulled or your fingers cut off one by one. In other words, it isn’t catching on at all.

Most Americans dont care about The World Cup. Really we dont. I flipped it on 3 times to see the team USA score. While it wasnt on I took a shower, cleaned house, and watched American day time TV. Ya Soccar is catching on like wild fire, and that comes from a guy who watches golf.

How irritating to have to defend American culture from jerks who live overseas and have an internet connection.

Soccer will continue to grow in the US…

I will quote only a small section from today’s editorial in The Sydney Morning Herald: “the World Cup is the world’s biggest sporting event, surpassing even the Olympic Games. Enriched with different national traditions and playing styles, the event is the model for global competitions which other sports, of more localised popularity, can only dream of emulating…the World Cup actually does reward the best in the world. Virtually every country vies for a place among the 32 teams to attend, and in those which don’t make the cut, fans barrack for one or other of those which do. The best thing is that in 2006, Australia is a contender”

First…I haven’t seen the site, but we will have arrived when these types of sites and bashers are just ignored. Who cares what they say? Now it matters, because soccer hasn’t fully arrived.

To me it’s just sad really. Soccer really is one of the most beautiful sports in the world, but too many people in the US just don’t understand it. I think the biggest thing most people hate about soccer in America is that it’s such a low scoring sport. This translates to a view that percieves soccer as uneventful, boring, and inactive. No one gets to see the beauty or the talent of a team working through blood, sweat, and tears to outwit, outplay, and outscore the opponent. Sadly, the loud few, who more often than not are the ignorant, speak more harshly than the majority who really appreciate it. Admittedly most Americans are not passionate about soccer, but can appreciate it. The few who hate it are the ones though that stand out, and it is these few that give the world a view of us Americans that is incorrect. The majority of Americans really aren’t as ignorant as these punks. I’d say go USA!

Every four years I go around with a sheepish grimace on my face as my countrymen do their best to embarrass me in front of the rest of the world. This site is just the latest in a long line of insults. People like Jim Rome on TV and some well-known newspaper columnists go out of their way to rag on the world’s favorite game, and I’ve never understood why. My current theory is that in the US, soccer is perceived as more of a middle/upper class game – soccer moms and such – sort of like polo. That drives people who pride themselves on being “normal folks” (even though they’re as upper crust as it gets) up the wall.

Anyway, if that site is all the fratboys can come up with to annoy me this year, it’s going to be a good Cup.

All i am going to say is that the first game of the nba finals was last night and the commissioner was bragging about the “world wide fanbase” for the game. I’d bet Germany’s first game got a better rating then any game of the nba finals will. They’ll do that nfl thing where they say its available in 1 billion televisions world wide…of course less then 1 percent actually watch but who is counting.

I think more Americians would gain intrest if there was more TV Coverage. For us poor working class who dont’t want to pay for ESPN2, ABC is only showing one USA Match. Nascar gets more attention and that isn’t even a real sport. For all you SOCCAR HATERS out there, you loved playing it as a kid, what changed? I guess any sport that dosn’t involve steroids or drunk rednecks is boring.
