Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Something that most of the world enjoy has an international tournament literally only once every four years and even though I am under no obligation to watch it whatsoever it annoys me that people get to enjoy the thing they like a bit more for a few weeks!

I hope when America loses we go back to not giving a poo poo about soccer again. those were the good old days.

so i took from this that he wants the world cup to be over... or is this opposite day or something? i'm so confused. why are you so desperate to defend his honour anyway?

Also, to re-iterate: Americans don't hate soccer: We just see it as an excuse to get the kids out on a field on weekend mornings while mom and dad nurse their hangovers.

And hey you above this post: He said he wanted America to lose, not the rest of what you said. Which is fairly acceptable, I suppose.

I like that you can literally speak for every single American as to why exactly they like or do not like a sport it must be awesome to wield that kind of power and it's also kinda cool that America is like the Borg with a collective opinion of things thanks for clarifying.

I don't know? I'll just take what I've noticed from Euro soccer fans and suggest shouting out racial slurs, throwing huge darts at players and just generally acting like a bunch of uncivilized cro-magnons? Do you guys set fires in stadiums as well? You can say what you will about us Yanks, but at least we have the common decency to riot in public and leave our stadiums mostly alone.

Good question! As an American, the etiquette when it comes to tipping over cars/throwing Molotov cocktails because your team lost a game is a mystery. Should we firebomb first, or is it when the first cop car gets overturned? When is it the right time to shiv fans from the opposing team?

The fact you let the United States get this far into the world cup is a testament to how bad you all really are at the sport you love way too much.

Holy gently caress, I'm not even a kickball person but even I could recognize how badly the US got stormed.

I predicted a 2-1 victory Belgium but like 90% of the time was spent in the US' half. It was pretty sad.

Then again I was rooting for Belgium so it was pretty awesome.

I think I sort of understand kickball now but proper football is still leagues better.
