A poll published Sunday on the wealth and race of fans who attended a World Cup match in Brazil illustrated what any TV viewer in the nation has seen: Those attending games are overwhelmingly white and rich.

If the game had Ivory Coast in it, I see their fans, if it was Japan, their fans, if it's the USA, their fans and so on. Chile, Mexico, Netherlands, etc.

I thought the Ghana fans were great. I wonder though, how many of them actually still live there.

USA defeated Spain when they were on their record win-streak and were Euro-Champions, that was in the Confederations Cup so still something, we also advanced in 2002 to the Quarter Finals and one can argue we were hard-done there. USA has already shown its potential. I think we have indeed defeated both Argentina and Brazil as well.

We did do well in this group stage in hindsight, tied on points with Portugal and winning the tie-breaker.
