As a typical American who was raised on the "big 3"- baseball, basketball, football, I am PROUD to say I am inching closer to the world's REAL FOOTBALL! After our boys tied Mexico in the latest qualifier I just had to go back to our great win! I swear I really regret not getting into this sport sooner in my life!! But I will admit it will take a lot more wind to get me completely hooked! GO USA Soccer!

I laugh at how everyone is making excuses every time the US pulls off a big win! "Oh, it was just a friendly," or "That tournament doesn't even matter." That's a load of shit, if you know anything about soccer, there really isn't a such thing as a so called "friendly" anymore. The looks on the faces of the loosing teams tell the whole story!

ALso we have a winning record against you guys in soccer since 2000 and we beat you in the 2002 world cup. NOBODY GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THE GOLD CUP

typical woman.mexico did not eliminate USA in the WBC but you guys beat us. We still went on to the next round and you didn't. Spin was not close at all and for the gold we sat our players when we ad a huge lead.

sooner or later we'll be one of the top football yes i said football countries in the world. maybe not today maybe not tomorrow but one day. Each and every day this sport is growing in the US. The MLS is expanding and growing in popularity, and it's the most played sport among kids in the country. you may not like it but it's going to happen.

Not all sports but still has predominant in most of the sports.

He was most certainly talking about Olympics sports.

If USA tries hard or make even slight effort for soccer. I'm sure they'll make german,English team caliber in very short time. Cause Apparently Soccer doesn't has state-art Facility like in football,Baseball in the United States.

With all due respect,Soccer is great game but right now USA is 2nd tier Soccer Country. RANKS 33 in World but still manage to defeat Italy,Spain,Mexico
