[QUOTE=OvB;45218826]I still have no idea how the championship works but I cheer when the USA team doesn't lose.[/QUOTE]
don't worry, I live in a country where everything quite literally stops for every match our team is involved in (schoolchildren and most workers have time off to watch it, streets become post-apocalyptic-level deserted) and I still have no clue how the world cup actually works beyond "win games get points get prize"
[QUOTE=AK'z;45219547]it's not even a case that you can't pronounce Football, it's not like Aluminium but you purposefully named a sport where you hold a ball in your hands and run... Football.[/QUOTE]
The rules for American football were originally very similar to the rules for soccer, which is where the name originates.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;45221569]no where did he say the british team
he meant everything in britain[/QUOTE]
If he meant everything in Britain, then no..America is not doing better than Britain. There's this thing called Premier League.

"Worse... Vuvuzelas!"
[QUOTE=.Lain;45219559]irish people don't say soccer. it's football and gaelic/gaelic football[/QUOTE]
I was going to ask about that, don't know anybody who says soccer.
I set my bmw on fire, fuck germany.
[QUOTE=Omali;45218739]That's because people can actually tolerate sitting through the games without those obnoxious vuvuzelas blaring constantly. I stopped watching the 2010 World Cup pretty early on because it was unbearable.[/QUOTE]
I remember thinking my mate's TV was broken or something.
"Dude your TV's fucked up."
"Huh?"
"Can't you hear that? It sounds like they're having a soccer game in a fucking bee's nest"
"Uh that's not my TV."

[quote=Ann Coulter]If more "Americans" are watching soccer today, it's only because of the demographic switch effected by Teddy Kennedy's 1965 immigration law. I promise you: No American whose great-grandfather was born here is watching soccer. One can only hope that, in addition to learning English, these new Americans will drop their soccer fetish with time.[/quote]
literally insane

So where were they in the World Cup then if they're so much better?
Just speaking locally, there has been a huge surge of interest in the World Cup this year as opposed to any other soccer event I can remember. I wonder if it was just really effective marketing.
