You like soccer.
Fine. It’s a free country (until soccer becomes the number one sport).
But this:
“Did it ever occur to you that perhaps USMNT matches are one of the few bastions left where people can proudly wave the Red, White and Blue?”
That’s a poor attempt at demagoguery.
Not even close to as poor as the following:
The World Cup and pro soccer in general is not something to be admired or interested in.
It does serve as a marker of sorts. The more interest there is in it here in the US, the closer we go to a European Style socialist state.
