Here's a question - how many people on this thread knew that the USA beat England 1 - 0 back in the 1950's?
Is there any good streaming online coverage in the US?
Real patriots root for Team USA to lose. It's a matter of national pride, we're supposed to suck at soccer!
1 - 1 Draw between Mexico and South Africa in the opening game, although either team could have taken it.
This might be slightly biased, but cracker of an opening goal, I hope it sets the standard for the rest of the tournament.

As Americans, we're supposed to think we're going to dominate in any sport. What we're NOT supposed to have is any idea of where any of the countries we're playing against are. In some states, being able to ID any continent other than ours is a punishable offense. Even knowing the locations of the other states outside your own and the immediate surrounds will get you the hairy eyeball.
Heaven help you if you know any of the state capitols.
