From bbc.co.uk: "As you suggested earlier, they're Americans and always believe they can do it. Good job you lot."

Aw, shucks.

At last count, only 232 Americans actually know the USA team won. Only 592 Americans know what soccer is. Even fewer know it is commonly called football.

Those 232 are the few, the proud...

Those 232 are Mexican.

230 are Mexican. The other two are WAH and myself. ;-)

I am knighting you two as honorary Mexicans. Arise Lupe and Rodrigo.

It's quite an achievement to have heard of the most popular sport in the world. :wink:

I saw a show in Japan about soccer. It is the game least modified for television viewing and has the highest ratings. American football is the game most modified for tv viewing and no one but Americans can understand it.

The few, the proud . . .AMERICAN FOOTBALL FANS!

I had to introduce myself to our drug-dealing neighbors because I kicked a soccer ball over their fence...

After that Steelers touchdown a couple of years ago maybe - but doesn't soccer have some fixed scandal every year or so?
