World Cup Soccer…Why All The Hatin?
Right now I am sitting in Vaughn’s Pub in Lakeview munching on a pretzel stick, sipping a craft beer and somewhat paying attention to the golf tournament playing on the telly. As the Foo Fighters rock in the background, I scan the room and see a handful of Cubs hats, coed rec softball t-shirts and then a guy in the lone Mexico shirt walks by. I raise my beer, say ‘Hey Mexico’ and smile. He responds with a smile and a thumbs up.
For the next month the World Cup will be rockin’ South Africa and it seems that every nation in the tournament is rooting for their country, except here in the states. There are lots of us who are supporting the stars and stripes and many of us believe that the US has a fighting chance in leaving the group stage and finally making our well-deserved mark in this competition. But there seems to be more and more people in the US that don’t like the game, don’t care for the game and are actually rooting against their own country. Well, I’m here to tell you all why I think football/soccer is one of the best games in the world.
