that's one of the things that piss me off. all of the kids that played soccer in the first wave grew up, and they like this shit now. i mean, especially the upper class. all of my nerd friends wake up to follow the premier league are unbelievably crunk for the world cup.

not to mention our latino brothers and sisters.

the biggest complaint of hardcore soccer fans seems to be that there aren't more americans like them--that they don't get offsides, that they complain about not enough goals, etc.

but guess what?

that's every sport.

do you know how many dumb casual american football fans we have?

soccer's a fifth sport here. it's not major, but neither is hockey, and basketball is borderline. there are plenty of people who like it, especially since the major leagues play at least a four hour time difference from us.
