Hi Kevin, good stuff. Liam: great to hear from another Cerezo fan, I think I might have talked to you at a party in a South American restaurant once. If I might say a few words in defense of my home country (USA): we probably won’t be winning the World Cup anytime soon, but we’re not a bad side. We’re the best in CONCACAF and number 13 in FIFA rankings. And while broad swaths of the country are solidly American football country, pro soccer has exploded in popularity particularly in the Pacific Northwest but also in California and some other big cities.
Oh, and too bad Japan tied their game with Greece. They’re still alive, but it’s not looking too good.
