The problem is that no one in America cares

How unpatriotic of you lot! It does show at the match. At the start of the match, when the British National Anthem played, a hell of a of lot of people cheered. When the American national anthem played, very few people cheered.

Me, I got George Crosses (the England flag) all over my flat, and in the window.

Is your lack of interest because your country is usually crap at this sport, or because they are women players? (Or because it is the one sport where American women are a hell of a lot better than American men, and your masculinity feels threatened?

)

No no, it isn't like that at all. We just prefer real sports. Even full contact bong rips is more exciting than soccer

Define real sports?

If you mean American football, you know that was invented when American players cheated at rugby and got thrown out? Rather than play fairly they set up their own league. (And rugby was created when a soccer team cheated at soccer).

If you mean basketball - real sport?????

And if you mean baseball, that is based on a version of cricket that was created for children because cricket was too hard for really young kids.

Also: As a patriotic American, you should be following women's soccer, because although your solo athletes are good, women's football is the only team game you excel at internationally. In every other team sport (not including solo sports played in teams, like golf) the world whips your ass. And that includes American football!!!

And they are about the toughest players you have too. Soccer is not a contact sport, but accidents and deliberate fouls happen. After which the women get up and play on. There was a incident in the match I just watched which although involved an English player, American players do the same when the situation is reversed. One player got badly hit in the face, then fallen on. It left her in a lot of pain, but no physical injury. So she only stepped off the field long enough for the medic to stop the blood flowing, then got back on with the game. Male football players (both soccer and American football) not only leave the game, but usually take weeks off, just because "they stubbed their toe a little bit".

shut up and hike the fucking ball!

then pack the bong, that's the only sport you didn't dissect with factoids that don't mean 3 shits in a shoebox to anyone.

However, the definition of "real sports" is entirely open to interpretation by the individual. Whereas you interpret your variation of the game one way, that's wonderful, swell, nifty and all that jazz, however, remember one thing...

In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip.
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans.

We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin.
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin' on
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

so put that in my pipe and I'll smoke it.

My post was not meant as an attack on US, but on Greenie & your comments on women's soccer, sorry you can't take someone having a differing opinion to you.

However: My comment on basketball was personal interpretation, but the rest is historical fact (look it up in a sport's almanac if you don't believe me). You cannot change facts just because you don't like them (despite what they might think in Washington and Westminster).

As to your little rhyme if the most recent thing you can think of where an American 'team' beat a British 'team' is in 1814 then I feel kind of proud to be British, we may not be much good at most sports, but we've won lots of things since 1814.

I think this pretty well sums it up...We just don't give a shit about it.

I enjoy a good soccer match over American football any day. I think it has to do with what you grew up with. Personally I never understood the fascination with football, or baseball for that matter, in America. They just stand around doing nothing most of the time with short bursts of action and frequent breaks for commercials, but that's just me.

Saying that one sport is less 'manly' then the other is just silly.
