I mean common, look at most the players- they are not athletes, they are fat-beer drinking couch potatoes.

Americans vs. Soccer has many dimmensions:
1. They don't understand the game
[Just like the rest of the world doesn't understand baseball]
2. It doesn't market well [no timeouts for beer advertisements].
3. They've never played it [can't notice intricacy or appreciate skills]
4. The rest of the world plays soccer because it doesn't require the facilities of basketball (rim, shoes, court), football (pads, helmet, pigskin) or baseball (bats, gloves, etc..).

I think soccer is the best sport for intuition. The decision making process in a game is never static - the plays aren't closely controlled by one single manager or coach.

It was actually Robbie Keane who scored, not Roy.
Roy Keane in fact was sent home from the World Cup after calling the Manager a F*****G W****R.

By constantly trying one ends up succeeding. Thus: the more one fails the more one has a chance to succeed.
Amazing USA. Who would have bet a penny on them? Not me, I am surprised. My heart goes to Senegal! Hope they will win!
