Who does not have cable or Internet access
You seem to be on here a lot
Do you live in a library?
Or use free WiFi at McDonald's as you train your fat football team.

Not sure what my age has to do with the USA football team failing to qualify for the world cup.
Maybe if they did less weights and more ball practice they would have been there.
Did you ever coach a championship team?
Clearly the rest of the world doesn't. Well, we don't either. I remember seeing the Iranians celebrating a victory over the US a few years back and the average American reaction was , "We have a soccer team?"

So the rest of the world knows how daft the average Americans are

The previous World Cup was held in USA (in 1994). That WC was very well attended (one assumes mostly by US citizens). For example, in the 16 games from the 'last 16' round up to the final, all games had over 50 000 spectators, many had over 75 000
I do not know how many of these were 'average Americans', but to pretend that there was absolutely no interest in that WC and football (soccer) in the US in the 90's would seem somewhat false.

Of course it's also easier to do when the other side attacks things you don't care about like American football or politics-heh heh)

Football is the best supported and played game in the world. And going by the amount of USA teams and full stadium's. I think you are in a minority with your views.
But if you don't care about football why even bother to comment
I notice you did not reply to blood on the tracks valid point about the 1994 world cup in the USA?
I wonder why

Originally posted by @roma45I got told from a reliable source that a certain poster (I won't name names) is now banned from the library. Apparently they had a young schoolgirl working in there picking up and putting away books. They cottoned on after a while that this freak was purposely leaving books on the floor so he could see down her top when she picked them up. True story they say but I'm keeping out of it.

But if you don't care about football why even bother to commentI didn't reply to blood on the tracks because I can't be bothered to check his figures to see if he's right or not. Mainly because I don't care. Granted there are more immigrants in the US now than ever and they have brought a love for soccer with them, but they only cheer for the teams from their own original counties, not the US team so the apathy here remains. It is also true that so many parents here have been taking their daughters to soccer games for a couple of generations now so the girls have grown up as soccer fans but they are just reliving their 9 year old youth. I actually tried to enjoy soccer some years ago and I'll tell you the one thing that ruined it for me forever. Not being familiar with all the rules or nuances of the game I saw a "play" where the ball was kicked from one player to another toward the goal and the defender moved AWAY from the ball making the second player offsides. I was astounded at that! I am sure soccer fans will say it was a brilliant defensive ploy but to me it was cowardice. You run AWAY from the ball and the OTHER guy is in vioation of the rules. Absurd! It could not have been any more clear to me at that point that Americans would never take to such a sissy boy game. Running away. Imagine that. The offside rule is obviously terrible. Do it like Hockey or something....anything....but that's ridiculous.
