USA: I thought you hated 'soccer'? Glad to see you have come to your senses now! :)

We're just more interested in our high-paying seasonal sports like US football, basketball, and baseball (<- unfortunately). Doesn't mean we can't get buck wild when our team advances in the World Cu-BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
discolandoJun 25, 2010
Baseball... unfortunately? It's only the greatest sport ever invented.
chang3Jun 25, 2010
Oh and DiscoLando, I say unfortunately because some Americans say futball is boring while simultaneously obsessing over the snoozefest that is the MLB.

Don't listen to these guys, Football (soccer) is getting huge over here, I live in a fairly conservative town in the bible belt, and i've been to a different bar for every game and there was the same size crowd and reaction at each one.

Wanna know the best way to catapult soccer to primetime limelight in the US?
Have this country make it to the finals.
I swear that last game would probably beat the Superbowl in terms of ratings.
timoumdJun 25, 2010
We love it as much as we love track and field and bobsledding and ice skating every four years. We get excited cheering for old glory, especially at everyone else's game, but dont buy stock in the MLS, even if we win it all. Come October itll be baseball and football again.
artemis11Jun 25, 2010
I've never really been into sports at all as I never have any motivation to care, but I can get into stuff like the World Cup a bit. Becomes rooting for my country instead of rooting for one team of overpaid musclebags that I arbitrarily decided to identify with and deem superior. Same with the Olympics.
saranagatiJun 26, 2010
i think the reason we're interested in the world cup is the same reason europe (and probably other places) are interested in it in general. It's about your team made up of individuals from wherever you're from going to other places and competing. We don't have that in the US for any of our sports. Here it's just, lets start a new team for this sport in this heavily populated area the the people on the team will be from all over the rest of the country, no one local though.

runnamuck62Jun 25, 2010
The USA may not be the biggest soccer fans, but nobody can say we don't fully back any of our national sports teams. Take the Olympics for example. Nobody here cares about swimming, but when the USA won that relay by literally a thousandth of a second, you could hear the whole country scream. It's a matter of pride for our country.

It was the end of a very frustrating game to watch. The last moments of what looked like was going to be a 0-0 game. Nobody was very excited until that happened.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
rblancarteJun 26, 2010
Great games almost always seem to come down to the end. Few remember the games that are blow outs. But almost everyone remembers the games that are super tight and come down to a final play.
gothicformJun 26, 2010
I hate to say this but you didn't notice a number of the places had only English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh flags hanging in them? They are clearly ex-pat bars just like how you have American bars in London showing the World Series. I wonder what the reaction in the Springfield one was when the USA scored against England?
Still nice to see Americans celebrating the soccer touchdown :)
summerofgeorgeJun 25, 2010
actually, it's americans' reactions to the american goal, all over the world

Kind of reminding us we win the World Series every year.
holygodJun 25, 2010
I know what you are intending but it is a dumb comment. The World Series is a legitimate World Championship. Do we play any other country in the world? No. But the best players from around the world come and play in our country. Same with Basketball and Football. We don't need to leave to play the world. the world sends its best to come play with us.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

That was so exciting to watch. Such passion and drama I have not seen in a sport for a while. It is good to bond over these events and to see this is fun. All these people cheering for the same reason at the same time, one of life's real joys.
winkymcgeeJun 25, 2010
Men, all this stuff you’ve heard about America not wanting to [play soccer], wanting to stay out of the [World Cup], is a lot of horse dung. Americans traditionally love to [play]. All real Americans love the sting of battle. When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, the big league ball player, the toughest boxer. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. The very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

jordanjeter7Jun 25, 2010
Sure the sport is not very popular in the U.S. compared to other sports but we have a very large fanbase. I would estimate that there are at least 18,000,000 fans living in this country (Of the sport in general, not necessarily fans of the US team). That is a very low number compare to other sports but that is still a s**tload of people. Hell we probably have more footy fans than the entire population of some countries in the world cup (Netherlands, Uruguay, Chile, Portugal, etc.)
petro62Jun 25, 2010
I am digging this because the goal was fantastic and I love the use of the music from Rudy.

I think that just won me over with this whole soccer business. I never hated the sport, but didn't "get it", and now after seeing that, I think I do. Thank you digg for showing me something, I think I was finally ready to see.
fxu1989Jun 25, 2010
As a long-time soccer fan and player, soccer is so much better when you are truly rooting for one team and an epic comeback like this one happens.
Screaming and chanting with everything you got is one of the best feelings.
biv2891Jun 25, 2010
sure, you didn't get soccer, but you get baseball ... which HAS to be the most boring and confusing game ever invented ...
pinktacodiggerJun 26, 2010
The Olympics don't unite the fans this way. Until basketball internationally is really competitive, the only sport that can bring this out is soccer. when you watch the nfl or basketball, there's 2 teams in the final that are most likely not your team and you can give a rat's ass about the final outcome, but we can all watch the US and cheer together for once.

It was literally a "shot". Half of the team was put to death you can see it at ync.com (NSFW, NSFA)
thewhitedeathJun 25, 2010
With the population base the USA has, and if your country actually gave a s**t about this game in the past, the USA would undoubtedly be one of the elite teams of the world with a few World Cups under their belts already. Nice to see the sudden interest however. I hope once the World Cup is over (win or lose), the USA continues with its new found love of football. Good luck in the next round!
Sincerely, Some Canadian.
I honestly don't know what our excuse is. Small population base, but when I see countries like New Zealand and Australia making it to The Cup, I just have to shake my head with how pathetic our football program is.

One word: Hockey.
porninstructorJun 25, 2010
I don't know why you're getting buried but it's the truth. The US has very deep pool of gifted and talented athletes, look at the Olympics for example but this is only possible if more resources are directed to the game to attract that talent pool which would otherwise be going to Track, Basketball etc..
chargerlandJun 26, 2010
I'd say that soccer is one of the funner sports to play, at least for me. and lots of kids play when they are young. maybe for some people it's just one of those things that is fun to do but not to watch.
kylereJun 25, 2010
I am sick of the euro whiners about America's attitude towards soccer, we do not expect you to like baseball anymore than the Canadians expect us to like curling. It is a unique form of ethnocentrism to expect everyone to enjoy the same things. I, personally, a, glad Americans have not adopted the ignorant behavior of many soccer fans, bad enough we have assh**es burning down cities over basketball and football championships.

I wont be chanting "USA USA" but i sure felt that magic moment when a goal like that is scored. I was rooting for you guys because you guys really deserved it. I have never seen so many s**ty calls fall down on one team ever.
Also... I am really glad that to see there are people in the US with the passion of soccer. They know how it feels to wait and suffer for that goal and how great it feels when it finally comes.
Good luck for the rest of the tournament, if you guys are lucky you will not have to face Chile. ;)
pjsmikeJun 25, 2010
The reason, in my opinion, why us Americans are indifferent about soccer is the fact that most people never tried playing the sports. I have tried pretty much all of the popular sports since a little kid and nothing beats the feeling of penetrating the defense line and scoring a goal, especially when you think it was impossible to do so.
* AYSO doesnt count. There is no way you can have fun kicking a ball thats 2/3 of your body.

Name one other time the US scored a goal in stoppage time in the last game of the opening round of the World Cup which made the difference between them being first in their group vs. eliminated from the tournament altogether.

My point is that this video was put in the context of the "world". Not just the US in the world cup.

It's history because it's what will be remembered and what comparisons will be made to in future World Cups in which the US participates.

telionisJun 26, 2010
Not for a lack of trying!!!
You've got to admire their tenacity though. They faced an uphill battle from the get go, and even in the face of defeat, they continued to persist, never losing sight of their goal. They came so close to success, but in the end it just wasn't in the cards. Even though the USA made it, you've got to respect the refs for the effort they put in. It was an admirable attempt to cheat us out of our rightful... wait... err... those bastards...
All jokes aside, if they continue to pull that crap while we're playing a very strong team like Brazil or the Netherlands, we have no chance.

I'm sorry, but what is it with "history was made." Does anyone remember 2002? Hey, what about 1930 when the US got to the semi-finals? I mean really, the US advances and just barely tops their group and all of the sudden history is being made? Guys, lets not jump the gun - the US is a good team and has been for quite some time. It is hardly surprising that they got past the groups stage. Let's wait for the US beating Brazil in the semi-finals before we declare history.
