OK, OK, I am not under any illusion as to soccer threatening baseball or the NFL or NBA or whatever in terms of popularity in the States, but now I'm beginning to think, Rita, that
you are really just tempting
me to respond to your posts! I mean, hey, did you miss a little thing we like to call
Sctx's World Cup 2006 Thread?!?!? Because you know, that racked up virtually 1,000 replies and virtually 10,000 views over 63 pages just this past summer! And there was a considerable point for Americans to be interested in, in the end, as they were the only team in the entire tournament the winning Italians failed to beat (even when playing half the game with a man advantage!).
So I think
you are the one spoonin', now...
But on the main question, I also have heard nothing and could find nothing about any such alleged motto or problem regarding the U.S. team playing in Japan (though I did accidently run across additional articles re the passing of Lamar Hunt
here and
here without even trying!). Do tell if you find something...
