and why should we care about an essentially third-world-euro game? not to mention that it’s exceedingly boring...

By 2022 we'll probably have raw sewage and chickens running down the streets of our major cities too.

Amen to that.

I work near LP field , which would have been one of the venues for the game. That would have been a nightmare getting to work.

I don’t get why the USA even tried to get this event. Soccer is popular with kids but it’s not a hugely popular spectator sport here as it is in other countries. Of course, as it’s going now, our demographics will have changed dramatically in 20 years, but they can try again later when it’s more appropriate to the US population.

You really need to grow up. Just because you do not understand soccer doesn't make it exceedingly boring. I'm someone who grew up here with baseball. I was there when Mays made The Catch. I was there when the Mets won their first World Series. I saw Lew Burdette pitch a no-hitter. But the bottom line is that baseball is usually a pretty dull game. In fact most games are real snoozers. And soccer is too, if all you care about are goals. But all those people in the third-world, like in Germany and in Italy, know that it is about the fact that most games can change with what happens in the next 15 seconds, at least until there is a two goal differential. When played at a high level it is almost always a beautiful game.

although Dallas putting the ball in their own net to give Colorado the MLS Championship 17 minutes into overtime was mildly entertaining

But, but, this means that they don’t want to make the One the affirmative action president of the world. What a blow!
