I don´t think it was so bad dude. Look, 10 years ago if anybody would have mentioned words such as "the USA", "the World Cup", "football" or "good team" in one sentence, I would have started laughing. However from my perspective the USA national team or football/soccer as a whole in the USA have made a huge progress since 1994 World cup which was organized in your country. In my opinion it´s mainly because a lot of American players play in Europe, especially in England and Germany not to mention that an American coach, Jürgen Klinsmann, is one of the best players of the 90´s. I am not afraid of football´s future in the USA. And by the way I supported a candidacy of the USA for 2022 World Cup

I watch some, but can't catch many games because of work. I support my home country USA, and then in no particular order. Honduras, England, and Japan. Mexico is probably at the bottom of teams I support, I'd at least like to see them do well. Don't really care about any other teams.
