main reasons americans dont like soccer:

well he does pose a convincing arguement

The main reason americans don't like football is because Europe invented it ... (England ?)
btw baseball is a really great game to play but it has to be the most boring sport ever to watch.

Id say golf beats them all in that department, pretty awesome sport for a single player, but watching it is just boring.

Btw that video is so good.

honestly, watching golf really isn't that bad. they've gotten so good with production that there's almost always something worth showing. baseball can be a nightmare to watch because of all the downtime, and pitchers taking a ton of time between pitches. i really enjoy watching soccer because i can appreciate pretty much everything they do with the ball.

wtf happened to holland between 2010 and 2012? damn

robben cant carry the team anymore

Holland out

Guess you're right

One reason golf can be exciting: The meltdown. You can watch a player's hopes and dreams become crushed with a single swing. Then they tilt the remainder of their score away. There's no coach to save them by pulling them. It happened last night with Furyk at the US Open.

Hoping Italy gets knocked out today. Let's go Ireland

Italy will play Germany at semi-final, they can't lose today.

don't know, but I do think the 2010 was a bit of a fluke. outplayed against Brazil (but made 2 lucky goals in 2nd half) and faced Uruguay and Slovakia as well in the final tree.

not saying Holland is bad, just had some luck with the bracket
