This is not the USA time for a World win, but there is always (Heavens! I sound like a Chicago Cub fan!!!) 2018 &/or 2023.

2023 is completely doable for the US team

Why would you want Argentina to win?


I'm an American guy with a Chilean girl, so it's fun cheering for both teams.

Everybody at work went nuts with the last game. Men and women alike.
Let's see how we do on the next game.

It's going to be a tough game against the Netherlands.

I know, and that makes it more exiting.

I think soccer would be better if there were no goal keepers, actually, would make it higher scoring.

If Mexico beats the Netherlands Mexicans will go bat s*** crazy. All of the nation's problems will be ceased for that day

Is Mexico as soccer-mad as the rest of Latin America?

Yes.

I'm an American married to a Scot so we always watch the World Cup. And we cheer for whoever is playing England.

Some of my family in the US say it's a boring game, not high enough scores. And they watch games like baseball!
