I wonder how deluded the people in the us would be right now :D
probably think they have a chance in winning it

and they all probably are the biggest soccer fan out there, since today :proud:

So what?

That is part of why the World Cup is great. After a win you are allowed to dream big, even if 31 teams are going to end up disappointed

While it will be difficult, if the US can draw Portugal, they have a good chance of going through

Plzz don't act so sensitive
I'm talking about all those people who turned into "soccer" fans today
the ones that don't know shit about football, the ones that probably don't even know their own team

btw, it's funny how you used "dream" and I "deluded" :D

Damnn, why are you all so sensitive, I'm not aiming at someone at this forum at all
Go out and celebrate your victory I'd say

I'm basically copying what my american friends told me earlier today
maybe I should ask you guys, how many people actually watch the game?
How many people are celebrating now, and if they lost they wouldn't even care?
Do they know their own players? Do they follow a club team? ...

as someone who's been across the globe enough.... i can say it's more or less the same.

Obviously more football fans in football centric countries, but NT stuff is generally a big party.

There are die hards who watch all games, there are those who are casual who's interest heightens around world cup. There are those who are literally just there cause it's an 'event'


You see it in all sports tho, ex. I live in SF, which won 2 of last 3 world series in baseball. There are ALOT more SF giants fans since they got good. But i also know some people who watched them non-stop.

As someone who's been to milan, i saw A LOT more milan jerseys and interest in 03-05 than i did last year. Heck look at spain, i don't recall spain being THIS insane about football 10-15 years ago, as they were last 6 years.

It's just how it is. Not everyone is die hard.

-

Personal experience, watched game at a bar, was packed, I'd say most people there were fans because 3pm monday isn't easiest time to get off work. But some weren't. But i know sunday's game v. portugal on a day no1 works, off of a win today will attract 3 times as many bandwagoners. Just how it is.

I hink it's cool those who aren't deep into it wanna celebrate. But they won't feel it as deeply as those diehards which have followed team for a decade and make point to watch random qualifiers on shitty quality video from el salvador for ex.

Okay, so when you use a different word for football because of another sport that's not played with your foot, I don think you can complain when other people make fun of your country for "soccer".

Soccer is a word created in England.

In italian its called calcio, in afrikaans its called sokker.

Getting frustrated for the use of a word in 1 language with different dialect, its pretty much one of the dumbest things about soccer fans.

that's cause Shakira ruined him #solution4pique

Poor Pique, has 2 CLs, 2 Euros, 1 WC, earns crazy money, mostly got called back to his team cause of where he was born...and now all his life he'll be a laughing stock because Shakira ruined him and he's Shakira's boy toy. Poor guy.

In most countries they have something that looks like Football
Still a large part have something that looks like soccer
and then you've got a couple of countries
that have something totally diffent like Italy

Calcio!!! I love it tho :lol: :lol:

Does anyone know where the word Soccer comes from?
- Association football - That's why I personally don't like the word
it was in a time where Rugby was called Rugger
I mean that's a pretty stupid reason
