Hey, rest assured that the flubbed goal will keep Brits miserable for at least one hundred years.

Nothing infuriates me more than hearing the same old tired lines from stubborn Americans like, “soccer is dumb.” I can understand why some people might not embrace a new sport (new to them), but what drives one to verbally attack the beautiful game and its athletes with such ridiculous and vicious comments? American ignorance is at its highest levels when it comes to this sport. I’m thrilled to see ESPN making the most of the event.

While soccer probably will eventually “catch on” in the states, we yanks are kind of funny; we hate having things shoved down their throats–whether it be an international sport, or socialized medicine.

Thank you for this great introduction.
