OK OK No one can force someone to like a game any more than ssomeone can force me to like WWF. I don't even like American Football. Why? Because I wasnt brought up on it, never played it at school. No doubt if I had, or if I was American, I would love it. Personal preference is just....personal¬! but...please just bear in mind one thing. Soccer (ie the round ball version , is universally popular throughout the world, whereas American Football is more or less a domestic game limited to the US. That is not to knock it because of that, the reason I mention it is THIS:
Today, in this sport watched by millions all over the world, and worth billions, the united States of America, against ALL the odds, heroically and decisively beat one of the top three teams in the world ie: Portugal. I watched it, couldnt believe my eyes, and neither could anyone else. Your boys did you proud. At the end of this game, ironically watched by millions throughout the world ~EXCEPT in the country where those footballers live and work, the commentators mentioned that this result would hardly get a mention in the American Media. I found that a great shame, because if Americans needed reasons to feel positive and pride in the spirit which got them through last year, they would have seen the same spirit alive today in Japan, and they would have been very proud.
