I'm cheering for the my national team even though not a shot in hell of winning. I'm just a homer! GO USA :clap::clap::clap:

Just watched an interesting piece on Bloomberg about US soccer.
Apparently it is a growing interest in the US but competing with American football etc. Stephanie Ruhle had heard of Beckham and Ronaldo but that's about all. Didn't know the name of the New York team for instance.
The 19 soccer teams in the US league are being upped to 24. With all those Latinos/Hispanics in the US it would only need a good result in the World Cup for it to take off.
FYI
New York state has three football teams, the Giants, Jets and Bills. The Giants and Jets are based out of NYC and their main offices are located in NYC, however, they play their games 9 miles away in the suburbs of NYC at the Meadowlands, just over the water in New Jersey. The Bills do the same -- they are based in Buffalo yet play their games in the suburb of Orchard Park at Ralph Wilson Stadium, which is about 11 miles from Buffalo. They both play their games in suburbs of their team name. Changing them to the NJ Giants, NJ Jets and Orchard Park Bills would be silly though, especially since they only play games there, so they keep their affiliates and maintain their main offices in NYC and Buffalo, respectively.
