USA-GHANA
He just wanted to play in a tournament. Remember Kanoute?

I won't be upset with either outcome in this game. I am a black man from America, but an African in my heart and mind. If the US wins, it will be cool. If the Black Stars win, that will be good as well. I'm glad that from this round on there will be a winner in these games. No more draws. Go USA, Go Ghana, either way I win...
...Yeah, I heard about that. Can you go in to more detail about how he did that? I know his brother is playing for Germany. I saw him (Jerome) play the other day too...
I admire the USA for their self-belief and fighting spirit. I would also love for 'soccer' to become more popular in the states
Having said that, I am Nigerian and would also be if Ghana won. I really think that the winner of this game could take out Uruguay in the QF

If you play for a country at the under 21 or more junior level, you can change countries after that.
Australian Tim Cahill did the same thing as well as Frederic Kanoute

I think soccer (football) could reach the level of hockey here in the US if done right. I don't think it would ever get as big as American football, basketball, or baseball, but that hockey level is possible. In my opinion the way to do that is by showing the best soccer from around the world. You always hear basketball players from over seas talk about waking up at 3am to watch NBA games and being inspired by the players they saw (e.g. Jordan, Magic, Kobe, Shaq, etc.). I think if Americans had the chance to see the best teams, players, and leagues from around the world it would create some interest. I'm enjoying the World Cup, and I have enjoyed the handful of English Premier League games I've seen this year as well. That is high quality stuff right there. I REFUSE to watch MLS because I know it's bullshit. The best of the best are not in that league.
LETS GO USA
would have stuck my fingers in my ears
Time to get down business.

With that being said, is your avg American willing to wake up @ 7am on a weekend to watch an EPL match? And you hear many complain about the low scoring the football produces. At this stage of the World Cup teams have to score and win to advance but for league matches it not necessarily the case. They want to come away with 3 pts but you'll still get your draws.
Honestly I think if you want to build the sport here, you need to start @ the youth level. How many of us played b-ball, baseball, football (american) and a child? And how many played football (soccer)? If we can get more kids into the sport then the participation will grow and the viewing audience.
Let's go USA! .... Much respect to Ghana.
