Kinda like how everybody watches the Superbowl type thing going on. It's actually Un-American if you aint rooting for our guys IMO.

Coulter: Any growing interest in soccer a sign of nation's moral decay
I don't get it. Sometimes... okay, a lot of the time, she blathers on and seems to only want to shock people with absurd comments.

On another note, I heard that the US soccer team beat Ghana, then tied Portugal, but Portugal had a 2-1 win over Ghana, and then the US lost to Germany, and they still advanced? Seems like these stupid rules might be why coulter looks at the game and has no respect for it.

She just might need to get laid.

Yeah, it is as silly as Mexico and Brazil playing to a scoreless tie and each earning a point.

Wow - a game that rewards you for not putting the ball in the net.

Who ever thought up such a ridiculous idea?

Not stupid. It's based on number of points (3 for a win, 1 for a tie) and if there is a tie in points then number of goals for and against. The US and Portugal tied in points, and tied in goals scored, but Portugal had more goals scored against them.

Harrier agrees that the Women's World Cup is beautiful to watch - but he isn't so sure about the game that the ladies are playing.

I guess you're unfamiliar with the NHL, eh?

Harrier doesn't pay much attention to Canadian sports.

L.A. won the Stanley Cup, great.

Back to more important things...

I don't know about un-American, but it's more boring than baseball.
