Ok. Now, I'm not into soccer let alone sports in general, but I'm digging this World Cup shindig. For whatever reason, I can actually sit for 2 hours watching men run up and down a field smashing into each other while manipulating a blob the size of a melon. But what's been bothering me is how much the American broadcasting systems aren't into

That's the one thing that's always confused the rest of the world. The entire known world is very much into soccer. But Americans have always loved their football more than soccer. I think there's been studies done, but I haven't read many, if any of them, as to why Americans just don't like soccer. I mean, it's pretty amazing we even have a freaking team that competes, but our team sucks.
I think if we were more into soccer, our international relations might actually be much better. We'd be able to better relate to other countries. Personally, I think it's ignorance. Americans just don't understand how to watch and enjoy soccer.
It could be worse. We could be into cricket.

I guess it is the little things that add up. Think of it. World Peace through sports. Food. Literally building bridges. Playing music. Ahh....lovely possibilities.

Cricket? I don't think I've ever seen a game of cricket before. Is it some sort of derivative of croquet?

I agree. I actually didn't watch soccer until I traveled to England, and then I got hooked. I don't really understand why Americans aren't into soccer, considering is rather similar to football.

Cricket is this godforsaken British game/sport that's pretty much undescribable and confusing as heck. Even a lot of the British don't understand it. It's also long... a single game can take days.
