The fact is, football is played all over the world. We Americans usually do not grow up watching or playing football. We play baseball, American football, and basketball. In some places hockey. But, football is the greatest sport and it is not arguable. It isn't because I say it is or because of the money, women, fame, etc. It is the greatest because it is easy, cheap, and fun. It requires skills and discipline that most sports do not require. It is played all over the world. And once every four years, the world comes together to play this wonderful game of football. This year it is in Brasil. I hope and truly wish that all of you that dislike, hate, or think poorly of football will watch your native country. Even if it is just one game. Watch your native country and pull for your country to win as if your patriotism actually were in question. Somewhere deep inside you, you will feel it. That urge to want your country to win, the need for victory, the appreciation for what your'e watching, the popularity of this wonderful game, the simplicity of this crazy overpaid nancy sport, the love and admiration of football. Watch it with us.

Perdweeb your post has nearly made me weep a tear of joy.   I shall raise the USA a glass when they venture into the lions den and I know they will come out fighting!

One day in the future the USA will win the WC and maybe all the haters will start loving.

Changeup you knew what this thread was about and so joined in the thread so that you could just try putting down a sport enjoyed by many here. ok you like baseball, go start a baseball thread, being a football supporter I will not go read it but then again I won't post in it trying to make it look bad. Basically speaking, if your not interested in the subject matter why get involved ?
Back on subject, I enjoy most MLS games no special team just like watching any of the games. I think the World Cup will go with history, everytime they are staged in South America on of those teams wins the competition.

I am not the biggest fan of Football, but the new Nike ad is great.

Xbrit,

Every thread in this entire place has what you accuse me of.  Don't be whiney.  It's unbecoming of Brits.

At present there are currently an estimated 3.5 to 4 Billion people who watch or play soccer regularly. With the FIFA World Cup registering the HIGHEST ratings of any sporting event in the world including the Olympics. In other words, HALF of the entire planets population are soccer fans.

The United States is the only nation in the developed world that soccer is not the dominant sport. All of Europe and South America is soccer. Ironically Australia is the only other nation in which Soccer is not the most popular sport. (I am Australian and a fanatical Arsenal FC fan)

As a Gridiron player (relatively new to the game) I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan (don't make fun of me). And an Aggies fan. That sport is fun too.

But in all honesty, Soccer or football as it should universally be called. Is king. And rightly so.

Would fix one thing in this, Japan is also one of the few developed nations that soccer isn't the top sport, they completely love baseball there

So what you mean is "if it's ok for others it's ok for me to dump in this thread"
Nothing constructive just have to put your nonsense in here.

Soccer's catching up rapidly there. It doesn't get the very regular TV coverage of baseball, but it does get the young girls, which brings in the young guys, which... etc.

Baseball is seen more and more of an old man's sport.

Someone's gettin choked.. maybe japan, maybe u.s., maybe brazil there.. but someone will choke for sure.. happens everytime..  

[guncrasher]

brazil always puts a good show but they never seem to make it count.  I have seen them play too many games where they dominated but didnt bother to score.

but japan on the other hand may not have good players but they do put in a lot of effort into the game.  I am always impressed by them.
