Dunno.. I've been quite a few forums, some people jizz over having multiple accounts. A few hardcore fans, and surprise TIES doesn't change the fact that barely anybody in America gives a f**k about soccer. Actually, there are many fans here in America. But Europe say no. Who cares what they say. The American fans want to break through but Basketball, American Football, Baseball and Hockey keeps Fotball down and the media rather cover the top four sports here. It is really not fair to say the majority of Americans are not fans of Fotball. What would be true is that the majority, if not all, Americans are not fans of Cricket!!!

He failed to mention how popular the game is for very young children ...ages 3-10 mostly. In the state I live in, most kids play soccer in the fall! Parents love it because the kids are constantly RUNNING and exert most of their energy. Sweatheart, it's mainly a hobby for white suburban children. The majority of these kids that play it at a young do not pursue the sport at a higher level (i.e. highschool.) Europe, and the rest of the world, play the game their whole life. Soccer is barely a top 10 sport in the US.... It is a top ten sport.

June 24, 2010, 12:45 PM Why Americans Aren't Allowed to Be Soccer Fans
A warning: Should Team USA somehow advance to meet Germany in the World Cup, avoid this man.
By The Angry German
[more from this author]
Robert Michael/AFP via Getty The author does not own a vuvuzela. Yet.
(Note: This post is best read aloud in a German accent.)
So, I have undertaken to instruct the Americans about the World Cup. Not an easy task — it's like asking someone to explain breathing.
The most unbearable thing about watching the games over here in the United States is all these non-fans who think they need to tell you how boring soccer is. Now, I don't care about American football (or soft-boy rugby, as we call it Europe), but I have a lot better things to do than go to a football bar on Super Bowl Sunday and start talking about how boring football is. And you know why? Because nobody gives a toss. Nobody cares if you like soccer or don't like soccer — like it, watch it, don't like it, feck off and wait for football season.
But even worse than the chest thumpers who "don't care" are the chest thumpers who do care, but only because the U.S. has now made the round of sixteen. I had chest thumpers walk up to me in my office last week trying to talk soccer, and how the U.S. is doing so great. Listen, I love this country, and the Americans can come in second to Germany for all I am concerned. But if you just recently discovered that there is a U.S. national soccer team and a sport called soccer, I really don't need to hear your opinion about either.
Finally — and please take this to heart — I am sick of all this U.S.-England chest thumping. Just because the only league you hear about here in the U.S. is the English Premier League, and all Americans aged twenty to thirty seem to be fans of Man United, Chelsea, Arsenal, or Liverpool, it's no excuse for believing that's all there is to international soccer.
As a matter of fact, England barely even registers on the scale of World Cup history. Maybe this is easier for you to understand: There are the Lakers and the Celtics, the Bulls and maybe the Spurs, all teams with a history of success (Brazil, Italy, Germany, and maybe Argentina), and then there are the Knicks — hailed to greatness but always fail to deliver (see: England). Maybe this is even easier: English fans talking about World Cup glory is like American teenagers talking about sex — they may have seen it on TV or the Internet, but they've never experienced it.

Obviously, this angry German is a northerner, and not Bavarian. He can leave USA. Matter-of-fact, I can help him with that!!!

USA gave it a hell of a try. That is so right. USA has got the best, most amazingly stimulating pro sports anywhere. USA dispatches all others in sports gratification. Now, as far as the World Cup, I hope Germany spanks England.

The English team had been whining like wimpass's since USA tied them.
USA played way better than England by far.
Now Germany sent them Limey's packing. F*ck yeah!!

Argentina will put Germany in it's place. I hope so but it's gonna be very hard. They are a very well organized team designed to pick apart a defense like that of Argentina. I'm rooting for Argentina to win it all. Sad for the USA but I'm glad the emotional roller coaster of the past couple of weeks is over. It's been draining following this team through it s trials and tribulations. They didn't deserve to lose to Ghana but they didn't deserve to win either. I made money of Ghana/Uruguay combo yesterday and Germany/Argentina today. Let's go Holland and Chile tomorrow.
