can any Americans tell me if they are club before country or country before club? In all honesty I wouldn't even celebrate that much if England won it, then again your national captain isn't the most hated player of your bitter rival along with several other of his minions playing along side him. I will be rooting for the Everton players though and if he was fit in time I would of loved an Oviedo winner against England.
That davies crash was heartbreaking. We were flying.Everton before country by far. If there is a big Everton game I literally count down the days and hours. I haven't done that all that much with the national team. However if we ever start playing the kind of football we did in 2009-2010 pre-davies crash the gap would narrow considerably.
Yesterday's U.S. vs. Portugal World Cup game did 18.2 million viewers on ESPN, 6.5 million viewers on Univision and 500,000 more viewers who were streaming the game. That beat NBA finals and the World Series. It was the most-watched non-football game ever on ESPN, peaking at 23 million viewers at 7:30 p.m.

MLS will have something to bring to the table when they next negociate TV fee's methinks
Agreed. Looked like he was going to be a top top playerIf we had him for the 2010 world cup 3rd place was a real possibility. He had the potential to be one of the best outfield players to ever play for us. He was the player who many people thought Freddy Adu would have become.
The US will never fully embrace football, too many reasons why that won't happen...And the euphoria atm will subside as it does anytime the WC comes around nevermind when the US does well, since Americans only get interested when they're winning...The excitement will dissipate once the NFL/MLB/NBA begin their seasons
I never tire of the ultra violence in baseballThere isn't enough scoring or violence in the sport to make it a much bigger sport in the country...And without incessant timeouts and commercial breaks it makes it marketing nightmare in a country where
branding and commercialization is a major
objective
What is this new devilry... @Bungle
