Wow, can't even admit when I made my point and I'm the sensitive one....

Sorry, friend. If you had a valid point, you would have taken the portion of the piece you think supports your opinion and posted it here. Then I would have demonstrated why you are being too sensitive. And lazy.

"Sorry, friend. If you had a valid point, you would have taken the portion of the piece you think supports your opinion and posted it here."

If you thought it didn't support my position, you would have posted why it didn't support my position. The whole article supports my position. However, here you go.

"What will you do, America, if your team implodes Wednesday?

What will you do, America, if Algeria runs the U.S. not only out of Pretoria but all the way out of the World Cup?

Will you care? Will you cry? Or will you simply shrug and say, "That's soccer," and move along to something else?

Your reaction matters. It matters to all 23 players who will be on the field and on the bench Wednesday afternoon at 107-year-old Loftus Versfeld Stadium.

Oh, we should all care so much if the USA team loses. Why? Because soccer is so important in England. Please!!! Did anyone write an article the day before the U.S. Open's last day chastising Great Brittian that they should care if scottsman Grahame McDowell loses or wins. No...

The one that needs to grow a thicker skin is yourself. You can't handle anyone criticizing soccer. What I can't stand is when the rest of the world continues to look down on us because they all know better than us what we should do in Afghanistan, watch as sport etc... Its the same pious attitude...

Oh and to answer Grahamme's question, we'll say That's Soccer!! And move along to something else...
