It has been noted ad nauseam that Americans just havenยt been all that into this yearยs (or any yearยs) World Cup soccer tournament, currently being held in Germany.
Reuters has piled on now too, deriding American soccer interest, claiming that, ยwhereas spontaneous soccer breaks out on Rio and Cape Town beaches ย you will not see youngsters kicking around a ball on the streets of Philadelphia or Memphis.ย
Oh, and we suppose it was something other than our cityยs rampaging soccer hooligans that tore down Crump Stadium last week?
