Chastising fans online or making idiotic comments on the radio when someone asks for a score on a game makes us look ignorant and uninformed. Just my .02c

That’s because the rest of the world can’t afford Tom Brady and the NFL, or Lebron, or MLB (we’ll maybe Japan in a smaller scale).
You need dirt and a ball, hence soccer.
Oh and soccer is widely believed to have originated in China.

That Portugal v. Spain game was amazing. Will go down as an all time great especially due to CR7's 3rd goal that gave them the tie!
I get that alot of old americans don't like soccer. Oh well.
But at least the World Cup is the whole world..
Let me know the next (first?!) time a team from Japan, Mexico or anywhere else plays in the "World" Series?!
Ok, back to ARG v. ISL. Lets see what Messi's got!
