    US Football...err Soccer

    Watching the US vs. Belgium match & they showed shots of the crowd - I'm certain I saw David DeCastro there...at his size & his features, it's hard to miss him.

    Go Steelers! Go Team USA!
    It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust & sweat & blood...

    Americans in 2014 only watch soccer because the news media tells them that Americans like soccer. Soccer: the spectator sport for blind sheep.

    The World Cup is quite possibly the greatest sporting event on the planet. Unlike other sports that Americans play, like football, baseball and basketball, The Cup is truly a World sporting event. Much like the Olympics. It is watched by Americans because it's the best brand of soccer out there. It is watched by Americans because we want to see how we stack up against the best in the world. It has nothing to do with the media.

    And I have no idea what "spectator sport for blind sheep" even means.

    Can't stand it when people bash this sport because they don't understand it. It's the chess of sports.

    ...probably beyond your comprehension, though.

    I agree Americans watch it because we want to see how we stack up, the only thing I can't agree with is that it is the best brand of soccer out there. The best brand of soccer, for me anyhow is club soccer, Bayern-Munich, Barcelona, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Manchester City, etc. What I love about the World cup is that every team has great players and every team has holes that they have to try and cover up which makes for exciting soccer and we have seen some really exciting soccer in this World Cup.

    The country with most ticket holders in Brazil (aside from Brazil, of course), are the U.S.

    there must be an awful lot of blind sheep in this world then because soccer is the world's most popular sport.

    could it be that you're just ignorant about the strategies and tactics of soccer?

    I don't understand soccer.

    I also think it is painfully boring to watch, even though I only watch any of it during the World Cup, which apparently is supposed to be the most exciting soccer event there is.
