Didn't the US beat Spain last year (at the time, the #1 team, in the world)?
I think there are several reasons why soccer (sorry, I refuse to call it football while I am in the US): 1. Its hard to get excited about a game where a 'fast break' takes about 30 seconds to unfold. 2. Its hard to get excited about a game where for 80% of the game the ball is within 15 yds of mid-field. (I completely made up those numbers based solely of the soccer games I have watched) 3. Until recently, the US national team has pretty much sucked. face it, we need to get behind a winner. If they advance far in this tournament, maybe things will change. I was in Scotland for the Euro Cup 2 years ago and it is a whole different, and better, experience watching a soccer game in a pub with crazed fans than it is watching it in my living room.
