Segenal (sp?) beat France today, one of the biggest upsets in sports history...I ask you this:

Who Cares? Certaintly not Americans. Most continets are crazy over soccer. Asia, South America, Eroupe, Africa, most of the countrys on those continets love soccer. Why dont americans?

Because, plain and simple, we have more entertaining sports then soccer. We have, Basketball, Baseball, Footbal, Hockey. We get to see Barry Bonds chase down the HR record. We get too see Shaq rattle around the rim, we get to see Kurt Warner through a spiral 60 yards for a touchdown, we get to see Mike Modano finess his way to the net.

Or we get to see a sport where there is alot of passing and alot of times ends up in nothing more then a tie.

And Americans are soppoused to feel guilty about not watching the sport that binds the globe together.

Should we? No we shouldnt feel anymore guilty about then we should about not using the metric system.

Americans, as a whole, just dont give a hoot about Soccer. Beside, we have the Laker Girls to watch.

Bring the flames on!!
