[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. 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 (we do have a French basketball prodigy, but not a lot of people have heard about him). Typical chauvinism.

LOL, I occasionally forget how tedious and smug the French can be. Thanks for the reminder! And with utterly no basis whatsoever—you’ve never won a real war, your contributions to Western culture (pre- and post-Renaissance) are de minimis—way underwhelming on a pro rata basis. Your GDP is less than
Connecticut’s. Your food is mostly garbage other than adding butter and cream to stuff everyone has. You stink. Like in terms of odor, you smell bad. You smoke and your teeth are gross.

Saying this as an American who just took the afternoon off to watch a super mediocre performance by USMNT. The pub was pretty full for a Monday afternoon. So while I agree the U.S. doesn’t shut down I think OP is exaggerating. But also yeah, who cares whether we as a nation are taking the WC seriously enough? Like, why do you care about this as an issue?[/quote]
