Obviously it doesn't touch the World Cup, but it was the first one ever (America didn't win). The World Cup I think at this point is one of the greatest international spectacles because soccer is easily the most popular sport in the world. I think the fact that the U.S. puts a competitive team out there, yet the sports we are most focused on are football and baseball, basketball a slight runner up in there, is a testament to American athletics. | My point was simply that countries do not compete against each other in MLB yet it is a "world title". --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence. |
