In general, I like soccer. But this go-around, it’s different. There’s no Team USA to root for.
I’m sure I’ll tune into a few games - but without the enthusiasm I did when the US was playing.
It’s hard to be excited when your team is out. Shoot, Italy isn’t in and yeah that makes it a less attractive tournament.
But it’s the World Cup and it takes on a life of its own. Nothing is bigger on planet earth.
