the thing is, football is big in all of these other countries. Here it isn't. All the media coverage is blabbing about how these team is the team that was suppose to make soccer big in the states. This team is the "strongest" team ever, that will open the eyes of Americans all over the country to the sport of soccer and all of a sudden, it would just flurish and soccer will become the number one sport in the country.
It's alittle different from what is going on in other countries. My uncle from England was the one that kind of pointed that out to me when he was visiting.
