This guy says 1 billion pounds for the whole World Cup in just British bookies.

I concur, but that doesn't mean the USA doesn't follow it, and all are ignorant.

I think all professional sports are fixed to a certain extent, including soccer.

People like Domz make us look like idiots. Trust me, there are some very passionate soccer fans in the US.

I find that the Americans who do follow soccer are very knowledgeable about the game and take it very seriously.

Soccer is the fastest growing sport in the US guys, don't listen to some people stuck in their ways around here, they are just scared of change and most are clueless about the sports they claim to follow aswell.

its not that people hate americans, its just that most are self centered, 'if its not american then why care' type of thinking that cause the negative comments about them
