I like..
'Soccer apologists say the reason it is not popular in the US is because the US is not any good at that activity. The US soccer team won the World Cup in 1991 and 1999. Better find another reason.'
and
'The "World" Cup is not the a World's Cup, but a competition among 32 countries, disproportionately allotted to European countries.'
Rich coming from a guy extolling the virtues of Baseball with it's "World Series"

Not that I'm sticking up for the guy
but I believe the US womens' team won world cups in those years. Big fucking deal I agree.
And (I found this out recently) that "world series" refers to an old sponsor (the world newspaper) and not in the 'champions of the world' sense.
But yeah, the guy is a mis-informed bigot, boarderline racist and a twat. But I think he's just after a reaction from the football fans who are actually stupid enough to rise to the bait.
