[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think this is sad at all. I don't know anyone who watches soccer as an adult.

America does come to a halt on Superbowl Sunday. And have you heard of March Madness?[/quote]

America population = 330 million

World population = BILLIONS[/quote]

It's no use, PP. I am French, so of course ***football*** is important in my country. But the average American barely acknowledges the existence of terrain and peoples outside of their national border, except as convenient targets during political campaigns against immigrants. [b]Obviously they will all fail to grasp that hardly anyone outside the US cares at all about their little American version of football, their baseball, their basketball[/b] (we do have a French basketball prodigy, but not a lot of people have heard about him). Typical chauvinism.

I have never once wondered what people outside of the US think of our sports. [/quote]

I care to the extent that I like watching a bunch of the Euros in basketball, but as long as young Lukas or Giannnis pick up basketball, that's enough for me [/quote]
