It's easy, and only takes a few moments.You mean they actually played worse than they did in the game where the goalie let in a goal on a shot my sister could have saved?Performance from 2 games =|= overall world standing. Yes are having a terrible world cup. Last night was the worst i have ever seen England play, no ability on the ball, no creativity.

Now now... don't get your panties in a bunch just because I know everything I am talking about and I am 100% correct when I say Americans hate soccer except once every 4 years during the World Cup - kinda like the Olympics. Once July 11 has come and gone, soccer will go back to its position where the highest rated soccer game gets about 1/6th as many viewers as the Scripps Spelling Bee.
Hopefully this "great sport" doesn't decide to assign a referee with all the competence of Groucho Marx for USA's next game.
If that's true, then what does it say about you since you have fallen for it?You are wrong on both and you know damn well that you are, all you are doing here is acting like a troll trying to goad the soccer fans into a flame war.
Actually, I gave statistics showing the abysmal ratings of the MLS Cup, and I also gave some attendance figures from recent MLS games. Then when I was told that the Champions' League is the premiere soccer league and would have gotten a bigger audience than the MLS Cup, I went out and got the TV ratings for the Champions' League finals.None of your claims have had any statistics, factual evidence, backing by any sources- just rants that were ignorance.
Actually, my claim has been supported by facts and statistics, whereas the delusional fools who claim I am wrong have provided absolutely nothing to support their point.The comedic thing here is your freaking claim about the USA has been shown to be FALSE and you ignored them because you can't refute any of them. In other words, you were just posting to get a reaction from the fans here.
Move on troll.

If you have a better method of determining a sport's popularity in America beyond looking at attendance and TV ratings, feel free to present your data.

Where did I ever say I hated soccer? I said Americans hate soccer, and I stand by that statement. But I haven't really given any opinion of my own.What is more pathetic, you are trying to once again harp on about Americans hating soccer because you hate the sport or that
Child, you haven't refuted a single thing I have said in this thread except you took a sports euphemism and tried to interpret it as the literal truth because then, and only then, could you find a statement I made that was incorrect.you are using a refuted claim of them being eliminated already as your basis?
And what does it say about you that you fall for it?You are beyond being a troll, you are on the verge of attention whore.
That's all wonderful information. But fact remains that when the Champions League played their championship game, about 1/6th as many Americans watched it as watched the Spelling Bee.Deespite the name, the Champions League is a group stage followed by a knock out cup competition, much like the World Cup but with more games. It is competed by the top teams in leagues throughout Europe. Just letting you know. Also, soccer teams compete in several concurrent competitions each season, for example all teams in England compete in 3 competitions, The Premier League (38 games, 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, team with the most points wins), and then 2 straight knock out competitions. And the top teams also compete in 1 of 2 European cups.

The link was given in post 19 of this thread.Quick question - which final(s) did you have the info on?

Don't hate the playa, hate the game. Which you're losing quite badly at.It's been a slow week in the political forum so he has taken his show on the road...to the chagrin of this forum and the main forum.

Your juvenile insults and behaving like a 5 year old do nothing to change the fact that I am 100% correct, and have brought the facts and stats to prove it, whilst you continue to wallow in ignorance, denying the obvious.You are too funny...if you weren't so pathetically sad I'd pity you.
Run along now, you are leaving your bridge unattended

So having the last word isn't enough, you have to have the last 2 words? Let it go already. Except for a 4 week period once every 4 years or so, Americans hate soccer, period.How does it feel to be wrong Wolfie? USA won their third game, won their group, and are waiting on who they play in the next round.
