Now That The US Lost To Ghana, Are You Still Watching WorldCup?

[Parche]

Poll question: Now That The US Lost To Ghana, Are You Still Watching WorldCup?

[mokawanis]

1. Oh hell yeah

I might offend by saying this but I'm always kind of glad when the US gets eliminated because it cuts down on the frenzied media bullshit.

[T_i_B]

11. Ah, but does it compare to the England hype?

[SunnySong]

2. I just watched to see the US win and the French lose... Plus I really can't

stand that horrible noise.

3. The what?

[flvegan]

4. Hell yes!

[david13]

5. Of course. I like the international flavor of it. I'm not ashamed to

say that I have never fallen for that flag waving crap (usa jingoism.)

8. Still? Never did. But I agree with the flag waving USA jingoism crap.

Right, we're #1 and we have to crush everyone in any international athletic endeavor. I don't cheer for the US in hockey either.

6. The US wasn't even my main team.

Mom's Brazilian. You know how it is.

7. My viewing of soccer games is limited to my kids'. :^)

9. I'm watching

about as much as I did when the U.S. was still in contention. I watch some of the matches off and on. Mainly check out scores and highlights either on-line or on SportsCenter.

10. Oh yes

Four South American squads in the final eight: Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. It would be tremendous if all four advanced to the semis and two to the finals.

Thinking Uruguay will beat Ghana and advance.

[Unvanguard]

12. Wasn't watching it in the first place.

Might watch some of the final matches.

[Blue_Tires]

13. they ought to bring back more tri-jets...

and yes, i'm obviously watching...

[KamaAina]

14. Yes, and GO URUGUAY!!

It feels a bit strange to bear a Dallas Cowpies-style animus towards a country whose sole exports are cacao beans and shea butter... but this is twice in a row now! :grr: :banghead: :argh: :nuke:

[meow2u3]

22. I'm rooting for Ghana

Their cacao beans feed my chocolate addiction :evilgrin:

[MrCoffee]

15. Absolutely, now that the dead weight is gone

Once Bob Bradley and Sunil Gulati are fired, I'll start pulling for the US again. With those two jokers in charge, there's nothing to pull for.

[bdamomma]

16. of course right to the finish!!!

[Rambis]

17. Paraguay model Larissa Riquelme does a Maradona, promises naked-run bid

Just sayin go Paraguay!

18. Wow! The guays are still in it? Who would have thunk it? n/t

[jakefrep]

19. Yes.

As far as the USA is concerned, anything they acheive beyond the group stages is a nice bonus.

[Dr. Strange]

20. It's STILL going?

I just assumed that when the US lost, the tournament was over.

[AsahinaKimi]

21. No..

Japan lost.. They were the second team I was rooting for, behind the US.

23. All my teams are out of Cup contention

First to go was Italy (my grandpa's spinning in his grave at their pathetic showing); next was the US (heartbreaking loss to Ghana in extra time/overtime); last was Portugal (I still think David Villa was offside--heartstopping loss though).
