(1,374 posts)I was disappointed when they didn't qualify.
I love soccer. Don't know why it gets such a bad rap in the US.
Oh well, the US Women's team are playing well and their World Cup performance was fun to watch. Expecting a good run.
USA!

The U.S. is at least a generation away from producing enough male world class soccer players -- right now, they're too busy trying to play pro baseball, basketball, and football.
