The Rest-of-the-World Cup
"There are just two things about the World Cup that prevent Americans from caring: it involves soccer and the rest of the world. We could get over the soccer part eventually - after all, it's kind of like the soccer we make our suburban children play, only without the goal scoring. But the global part just isn't going to happen." [Time via PLOFT]

So true...I played Soccer as a kid. I think the confusion begins with the name...it just isn't Football as we think of the term. It goes against all we love in sports. It doesn't have the power of Football, the speed of Basketball, or the tradition and structure of Baseball. It's also not 'our' sport, it's 'their' sport...mj
