Portugal 2 USA 3 , Suwon (Reuters)

Ramon Padilla from Sacramento said the win would make people
in the United States sit up and take notice.

"There are a lot of sports in the United States and now
there is a new one," he said.

(From www.cnn.com)

let me guess, it doesn't count as a sport until you win ?
what are you gonna call this new sport ? :D

thats how they are.

anyway with so much money and over 250 million people if
they want they can become one of the strongest teams.

i dont think they noticed how UTTERLY CRAP Portugal were.
They stunk completely, i mean the second goal was a complete
gift, they may as well should have picked it up and given it
to them.

changes but not very sunstancial

no, soccer just isn't popular over here... maybe because the
teams here (with the exception of the USA womens who won the
womens world cup) suck... because they won, people might
take notice...

my friends stay up from 1:15am to 4am watching the live feed
from the World Cup.

Most people don't know what the world cup is though, I'll
give you that, maybe people will pay more attention, it is a
sweet international sport.

Living in Miami which deals with a lot of people in
different races....Soccer is loved here. You can go down to
South Beach and a bunch of people wearing their country's
colors are screaming and acting crazy. I'm a soccer fan.
It's an awesome sport to watch.

i bet soccer will be like the next big trend in the U.S.

i could just picture that...
..you?

it would be like... cool cus its not...
...then it would become extremely over-commercialized

I wish soccer was more important in canada but we got hockey
in the way. Sorry if any canadians here are hockey
fans...im not. Id rather see more soccer.

Watching new york gangs put on soccer shorts and play
soccer? That would be...both funny and odd. You always
think of them and well ALL of america playing either
basketball or baseball. so soccer big in the USA? I don't
think so.

usa like to have control on money
they will add soccer to their culture
