In a way I hope not because the Woman's World Cup is a major tournament and it would be a shame if attention was distracted from it.
The women’s World Cup of Soccer is underway in Canada, not that you’d know it from the sports pages. Team USA played the Australians who didn’t have very friendly things to say about us after the game… which, we did win, 3-1, not that you’d know from the sports pages on Yahoo…
(source 38:58+ on the podcast)
Most Americans just don't care about soccer… It's dull! (Just like most Brits don't care about American football: It's dull, and violent… So, the violent part must be your problem. You're used to dull! Or do y'all just like running back and forth over grass?)
The Mexicans have a different perspective: Without severed heads and mutilated torsos, it's not really a sport, is it?
Perhaps that explains Mexico's poor showing…
