"Soccer is our only chance to avoid total embarassment on a world sports level."

Naaaah.
America is the strongest sporting nation overall on the planet.
Look at the Olympic medal tables.
We won over twice as many golds in swimming for example, as the next country Australia did.
W have dominated track and field for decades.


"Puerto Rico beat the USA by 21 points in basketball."

And Puerto Rico never qualified for the second round. We did.
Plus very few of our top b'ball players even bothered to turn up.
We had Stefan Marbury of the Kiicks as one of our top players at the Olympics for crying out loud!

No Kobe. No Shaq. Not even Jason Kidd.

How many World Cups has the US won? Don't you think we should win a couple before the "soccer is ghey" stuff begins?
