This is how the entire world will feel for four years if we could manage to win the World Cup. I say root our side on every time they take to the pitch. This is unchartered territorry for us now- anything could happen. Look at that Spain v Ireland game. Ireland scored the equalizer in the 90th minute and might have won were it not for a bit of bad luck in the penalty shoot out.
Our next opponent is Germany. Europe will be stunned just like the Mexicans if we defeat them to go on to the semifinals. I pray for them to win for this reason alone. I can think of no better single way to beat down the psyche of the American hating Euros than to eliminate them in the World Cup- you'd have to go to war with them (literally) to do anything worse to 'em. Go USA!
I can think of no better single way to beat down the psyche of the American hating Euros than to eliminate them in the World CupI think the big reason will be that the majority of the US doesn't even care about the World Cup...we have more Team USA followers abroad than at home. Even with a small fraction of the interest or support that other countries have for soccer, we can still come in and do better than the majority of them. I don't know about you, but that would really burn me up...if I wasn't a USA fan.
