Again.... Why do y'all care so much? This is NOT OUR sport!
Nobody in the world can beat us at American Football. Nobody in the world can beat our BEST at basketball. Nobody in the world can beat our best at baseball. Nobody in the world can beat our best at Women's sports.
Because it’s the one sport that the entire world cares about. I would argue that the World Cup generates more national unity than the Olympics for the last decade or so. It’s really freaking big deal to millions of people who love soccer in this country.
