Nah. We just feel the need to be different from the rest of the world. It's the same reason we drive on the wrong side of the road and use the Imperial measuring system instead of metric.

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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:320798 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
