She’s the perfect pick.

Soccer and the metric system were rebukes to American exceptionalism — American thickheadedness and backwardness. The rest of the world did it; America was stubborn and behind, in its rejection of those things. America held on to this screwy imperial — imperialist! — system: feet and yards, pints and gallons. The rest of the world had this elegant and logical and non-imperialist — non-British! — system. America had its brutish sports: football, in particular. We needed to embrace the real football, soccer, played by thin, small, virtuous Third Worlders, who had no equipment save a ball, and maybe a few sticks for goals. Nets, too, if they were really lucky.

She’s the perfect pick, 2.0

The World Cup, rather, is a working model of President Obama’s foreign policy vision: a world in which America has no special role, where inferior countries are no longer humbled by American greatness, where every country is exceptional, and free shots on goal are not earned, but given away as a handout to those who have mastered the art of falling down. In the group stage, at least, the games can end in a tie.

Attempts to exert even a modicum of American exceptionalism—e.g., calling it soccer, instead of “football,” like everyone else—are greeted with disdain. President Obama, for example, thinks we should abandon these imperialistic pretensions. Of course he does. He has spent the last six years trying to weaken America at home and abroad. Why stop now?
