Then what was the point of posting here then?
Hey, I was gonna say the same thing. :P
Personally, what befuddles me about the World Cup is why the media makes such a huge deal out of it and out of the American team... THE AMERICAN TEAM IS TERRIBLE! I remember 2010, it was ridiculous! People went NUTS because we beat ALGERIA! Okay, let me tell you something... when we beat at a sport a country that sounds like we were probably at war with at some indeterminate time or will be at some indeterminate time in the future and THAT'S the highest level of competition we're capable of taking down... that's nothing to be excited about. I remember people made a big deal because the U.S. and England were in the same group four years ago. EVERYONE KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE A BLOWOUT! Soccer is to England what football is to the U.S. and what hockey is to Canada--we're in over our heads if we think we can beat England at soccer! (Same thing goes for Canada with Olympic hockey.)
The U.S. never advances beyond the round of 16, if that, in the World Cup. And Brazil always wins. You know how there are certain teams in sports who are always good no matter what, and certain teams who are always bad no matter what? Think of it this way...
Brazil's the Yankees. Brazil's the Red Wings. We're barely the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes or the Val-d'Or Foreurs.
EDIT: Wait, what... Spain won four years ago?
See, I know nothing.
DOUBLE EDIT: Looks like this year the U.S. is in the same group as Portugal, Germany, and Ghana. We're not advancing from that group. We'll get creamed by Portugal and Germany and, believe it or not, Ghana has really good soccer teams. I don't even think we'll get past them.
WE HAVE BASEBALL AS OUR NATIONAL PASTIME FOR A REASON, PEOPLE! :p
