Caring about the World Cup is a sign of the Nation's moral decay.

Ann Coulter at it again. Blames Ted Kennedy. And used the line. "I promise you: No American whose great-grandfather was born here is watching soccer."

I have all see 3 US games with friends. The place we went to had beer and oily food. All I saw was Americans cheering Americans. Different colored people with high five galore, screams, hugs, tears, and smiles. I saw no decay.

I'm going to see the next game, thank god for the night shift. Anyways break over in 10mins. Just sharing how people can fear monger with just about anything.
