I and a very select few of americans LOVE soccer, don't forget america has created nurtured and grown up with three other sports. I guess as a true independent country we didn't need to play the world's game although we are getting better and alot of more americans are starting to play it. When you think about america you think of american football, basketball and baseball but soon soccer will be up there, i can't wait until it is :)

Actually the 1950 World Cup was in Brazil, and the US failed to reach the next round.
