Re: World Cup Fever?
I'm getting excited about the world cup too. I am really nervous as to how the team will do this year given the group they are in. After the great showing in 2002, to have our team do poorly will tremendously hurt the growth that american soccer has shown in the last four years.
Has anyone noticed that Drew Carry (sp?) is the new national team superfan. He went to a game and fell in love with the sport and has been following the national team all over the world. It's good to have a guy like him catch on to the sport. Also, according to FIFA we have moved into the fourth spot in the world standings (however unimportant those rankings are, or inflated). At least somebody is recognizing that US soccer is on the rise.
