Yeah, but Americans don't really get soccer yet, so it's hard to imagine there'd be too many people who are really into it. (It's not just a European thing either: the South Americans are a lot louder from what I've seen).
As an honorary Mexican I feel compelled to object!
Ah! The USA is a bundle of contradictions:
-
The most popular country in the world. (Look at immigration stats)
-
The least popular government in the world. (Ask people around the world who enemy number 1 is)
-
The country with the greatest number of great sports people. (See who has been winning the most gold medals over a longish period of time)
-
The country with the least participation in the world's most popular game. (Soccer)
... the list goes on.
