What’s happening? Alarming poll finds that half of Americans do not care about the World Cup

Soccer is a fast, exciting game but scores are low. Much ado about nothing, IMO. Just a bunch of guys running across a field. Worse than basketball.

fun to play when you are a kid though.

"This just in to our news desk ... apparently some form of soccer tournament is taking place that nobody in the host country cares about. In other news ..."

Why are you just providing another reason to think that most Brits are as clueless as you?

It is. It's 11 minutes of play over 3 hours. You wear padding, Rugby players don't. You rarely kick the ball and pass/throw it most of the time, so hand ball is more appropriate.

So we're not clueless, you're just puffs.
