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 :)
Your country is about to be footballized - get ready to look away with disgust in your face.
(And secretly watch it under your pillow)
