And there's a good chance we hear even less in over here in the States, soccer just isn't a big concern for most of us, which is why I hope we beat every european nation we come up against and then lose to the eventual champion which would ideally be a Central American or African nation that has been torn apart by war, famine, etc. and could look at their team winning the World Cup as a source of pride and encouragement to make peace. If the USA won the World Cup, and this is a big IF, I would feel bad because it would mean we beat some other nation where soccer is the only sport and people worship their teams as gods and very few Americans would actually appreciate the victory and just point to this as another example that America is better than everyone else. The only thing I like about the World Cup is that it seems to be a great excuse to show off one's patriotism without being considered a nut or a redneck.
But that's just the opinion of one American who doesn't like soccer all that much.
