It doesn't appear on the radar of many people.
I think only 20% of the earths population are watching it.
But that's more people then any other event was able to attract including the landing on the moon.
And then there is this crowd of people hating football so much they have to post about it. There's more then 200 posts in a thread on why americans don't like football.
Yeah right - what an unrecognized unimportant sport it is.
I bet the argentinians would love to hide behind a suddenly felt dislike to football.
How can you feel anoyed by something that doesn't have a public ? You rooting for Ghana in a sport that is unimportant to you ? Yeah right :)
Come on - there will be better times - your guys will do it to the finals one day.
Since when do Americans care what the rest of the world thinks?
"I bet the argentinians would love to hide behind a suddenly felt dislike to football."
Failed analogy -- Argentinians are soccer crazy and everyone knows it; Americans are either soccer indifferent or antagonistic and the soccer-loving world simply can't believe it.
"How can you feel anoyed by something that doesn't have a public ? You rooting for Ghana in a sport that is unimportant to you ? Yeah right :)"
You misunderstood -- I was annoyed that the cable sports channel (ESPN) was, in an attempt to be "worldly," polluting the sports news with endless soccer crap. Now that the American team lost that's no longer a concern :)
