    It's Belgium. We can beat them. They are on the same level as us.

    I predict 2-1 USA.

    I'm a true American. Bunch of terrorists on this board.

    My Grandfather fought in WW2 so I would never have to play soccer, I want this whole world cup crap to be over so ESPN goes back to normal.

    Back to guessing where Lebron will end up?

    The World Cup is much better than anything ESPN has offered in the last 4 years.

    Wow! You mean football is more popular than soccer in America? I would have never guessed that.

    And soccer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>baseball

    And that is a simple fact of life. If you disagree, you are simply lying to yourself.

    Evidently you believe running around and kicking a ball is difficult compared to hitting a round ball with a round bat squarely while it is flying at you at 90 plus mph.

    I am not lying to myself when I think that watching a 1-0 soccer game is not fun, or exciting.

    I mean...I can over simplify baseball to hitting a ball with a stick. And baseball games end 1-0 and everyone is all like "ooooh what a pitchers duel!"

    ESPN doesn't even cover the Super Bowl.

    Soccer is still fairly new for the US. It has become the most played sport in schools and will eventually be right there with football. Football is expensive for schools, that will be it's downfall.

    If you don't like soccer...fine. I don't care.

    But please stay out of this thread for the time being please.

    Only real Americans are allowed in this thread from now on.

    I'm an admin so I can ban you.

    Downfall of football, let me guess Barry you wouldn't let your kid play it.
    Never said ESPN carried the SB my comment was that they normally do not carry soccer and I am tired of seeing it instead of sportscenter.

    Just so dumb.

    You would rather watch coverage of mid season baseball or off season football than one of the best sporting events in the world.

    Just so incredibly dumb.

    I will stay away from this post before I go, but 1 last thing. Real Americans believe in freedom of speech, they don't go banning because people do not hold the same opinion

    Yes, and then you went into a little rant about football after I said ESPN offers very little.

    Sportscenter is on 24 hours a day, you'll survive.

    But please look at the above post. He will ban you, that's no joke.
