America has a huge effect in this world and soccer has no effect on america therefore soccer is rendered useless and we shall all watch something much better such as football,baseball,basketball or hockey

And God said "Turn the channel to ESPN"

AAAAMEN

That would be nice.

I'm not sure there will still be a Guild Wars by then ... but I'll go dance whoever wins

If it's T&T, drinks are on me (so what, I supported Japan in the Rugby World Cup).

American football is played with hands ; (german) handball is played with hands. Go figure.

Google ftw

English people out there, how many among you ever played in a _soccer_ club ? Why do americans have a different name for a sport they don't even play (except maybe women, goes to show ladies always have better taste) ?

Don't forget about Aussie Rules Football...those guys play physically without pads and helmets.

I won't go out and bash any country because of their political stance. What I will say is that some continents are much better in "World Football" (a.k.a. Soccer) than some others. I'm not surprised that the Czech Republic beat the U.S. 3-0.
