Its not enough of them for FIFA to change their schedule due to avoid NFL playoffs.

huh? speak English man or I will have to conclude you are one of those illegal immigrants you think goes to DC United games.

I mean what do you want me to say Atomic? You're full of shit as usual.

You said nobody cares about the World Cup. Well that's bullshit and you know it but if that's the way you feel stay away from this thread. I think you're trolling is what you're doing.

I care and know plenty of people who do. This idea that its only foreigners or illegal immigrants is highly offensive.

  I said Americans in general don't care.  I know two people who care a lot.  One is from South Africa the other is from South Korea.  I will be watching and hopefully the Germans can pull it out.

so do the 53 million hispanic Americans not count? That is a lot of people and they care...

the argument that "Americans" don't care is idiocy... we don't live in a Leave it to Beaver world

is soccer or the World Cup as popular as the NFL, NBA, MLB??? Of course not but so what?

If Americans in general don't care I don't see why ESPN is permanently talkinga bout soccer...its not like the old days man...goals are now included in the top 10 plays regularly, the ticker/crawl at the bottom has a lot of soccer info... there are premier league games regularly on NBC for crying out loud..

times are changing...

Dude I don't care if you like or don't like soccer...but get your facts straight

according to the 2010 US census there were more than 50 million hispanics.. thats LEGALLY...as you also no doubt know, in your infinite wisdom, hispanics are often undercounted...

but do the math......between 2010 and today how much you think its grown?...

thats before you factor illegal immigrants who will be legal fairly soon....

factor in, moving forward, higher reproductive rates among hispanics, continued immigration, and i think you know whats coming..

This country votes to become part of Mexico?

Who are you rooting for in this World Cup?

I watched the End of the DC United Columbus game on TV today and it looked like they were lucky if 2000 people were there.  It ended in a zero zero tie.

Inoffensive chants?  Don't like the term Nazi?

Those guys have a long way to go...

If the World Cup isn't for reinforcing racial stereotypes every four years, what good is it?
