A couple million care at least. And making it to the World Cup tend to have positive financial consequences too with increased exports.

The World Cup is literally bigger than the Superbowl.

America just pretends otherwise because they suck at it.

When America wins the world cup (it'll happen one day) suddenly it will embrace soccer.

^ Hey now that's completely unfair.

Awesome! Congratulations. Rooting for you.
The Netherlands didn't even qualify. What the actual fuck right? In 2010 we were the runner-ups and back in 2014 we got bronze. Now our team went to shite, but not even qualifying is just daft and disappointing for all of us.

This is the first time we haven't qualified in nearly 30 years. Don't act like it's a normal thing everyone expects.

While it's hilarious that Italy lost - in Italy this is referred to as the Apocalypse now, and The Guardian called Sweden's defense "the four Norsemen of the Apocalypse" - I really am not looking forward to the increased amount of hype around the world cup this will bring. It's too much already when we're not in it. I'm gonna be rooting for Iceland, though, since Will Griggs is out.

I am surprised the Italy got knocked out to Sweden.
But I think it was on a zero scoring game. Still, it's nice to have Italy in it.

What I am happy with is that The US has been knocked out early.
I can't stand having to hear people go on about the US and the World Cup, when 99% of the time, no one in the states cares about Soccer/Football.
And as an added plus, many people in the states are turning their back against US football, which was shit to begin with. But they are just now finding other reasons to blame that on.
Doesn't stop the gamboling though, which with that and high school nostalgia is what it was all about anyway.

Either way, ya sucks for Italy.
So, what are we looking at, England, Germany or Spain?

Sweden played like ass most of the game last night. It hurt to watch and it's a shame that crap like that will be in the WC instead of Italy. But that's how it goes, Italy deserved it for not scoring.

England? Hahaha they're super shit. Usually I like to describe men's soccer as "22 guys running after a ball for 90 minutes, then in the end Germany wins". So yeah

Okay, but don't let Sebastian Vettel hear it, he might not believe you.

Seriously. I hate when people who don't know wtf they're talking about try to talk to me about shit. Had a dude literally trying to tell me the US has won not one, but TWO World Cups before. Like, no....

They did a little bit, like a week or 2. There was a lot of "lolol, see the women could totally beat the men!" but then it all died down because only like 9 people actually watch the women play.

We suck so bad >.> (US) But I am rooting for Iceland. My fav player is Icelandic. But realistically Germany is my pick. England will choke as usual.

Soccer is a British term though so it's not incorrect to use it anywhere.
