Ok I watched England and Uruguay....

WT.. errr HECK England?

South American homefield advantage?

Also something kinda touching I saw...

First of all that Colombia vs Ivory coast game was awesome. 3 Goals in 9 minutes, Ivory coast with major pressure at the end, made a great show against a clearly better team.

Anyone notice how loud the Colombian anthem was, and how the player sung it with so much "gusto"? (mind you, alot of yellow jerseys in the crowd, but the players all sung hard, hands over their heart)

Then Ivory coast team, was mumbling the words, some not singing at all, except one guy, the dude with the blonde mohawk, who was in tears, the guy next to him was comforting him the whole time.

How many billions are watching this.

The World Cup is really popular in America this year too, bringing the sport here does not mesh well though, as it is hard to show commercials every 10-15 minutes in soccer/football.

MLS is a good step, but we cannot attract world class players, the money and prestige is so much better in Europe for them.

I would like to see America take more interest, it really is awesome once you know what you are seeing, and understand the tactics.
