ESPN has been hyping the World Cup for weeks...

It's not just ESPN hyping the world cup - most of television media has as well. The media giants smell money and just what we need is another distraction in the form of more time spent in front of the screens... wouldn't want the American public to have time to see what's going on around them.

Media has been trying to hype soccer since the early 1980s and they still haven't managed to convert the nation.
