USA men’s soccer beat #1 ranked Spain 2-0 in an upset that will cause the normally docile and low-gun-death countries in Europe to play out its occasionally full moon fever and start firebombing and turning over parked cars after a soccer debacle like this.
This will stir up the recurring discussion about why Americans don’t care about soccer, even when they field a top notch team. I suppose it’s sort of like how the Europeans like really dull subtitled movies instead of premium epics that Americans watch such as Armageddon and Star Wars: Episode I. You know what I'm talking about, movies that have some action and things start in space.
Watching guys repetitively chase a ball for 3 hours and only scoring twice, no thanks. And what’s up with not using your hands?! Of all the grand achievements of our species, I’d point to the greatest being the use of our hands and opposable thumbs. And here you have a game where you can’t use that! No thanks, I’ll take some baseball, football and basketball, the real sports!

"deposable thumbs"
Hey, I like soccer! A lot... way better than American football (since soccer, in many countries, is called football).
