All people who likes soccer in murica are there
 
Soccer isn't big enough to make it worth it at this point for ABC. I don't like it but they're not gonna lose money because of it.

Brazil-Croatia drew 4.4 million viewers on ESPN at 3 PM on a Wednesday (Eastern time). Sunday, instead of the USA-Portugal game, ABC will be showing (in the Eastern time zone) local news, national news and Wipeout. The last ratings I can find for Wipeout show it with 3.7 million viewers.
 
What matches are you going to? Need to watch out for a giant frog, after Mothra there's even hope for you getting some camera time.

hahaha

I have my USA jersey but I haven't decided on a crazy hat and/or facepaint yet.

I'll be the lone American in the cheap seats for USA - Portugal. I have good seats for USA - Germany though! Maybe my tears of joy will be caught on TV then.

i'd say "i'll make a GAF sign for you guys!" but yeah i'm not doing that
 
Yup, thats the biggest insult. There is literally nothing else going on at 6pm on a Sunday.

Not only a 6pm on a Sunday, but 6pm on a Sunday in the middle of June!

How probable is that ABC cleared the spot in case there was not much interest so their ratings wouldn't hurt? But everything I read is an increas in viewers in comparison to 2010's. Is it possible for them to have a change of heart? I mean c'mon, it's June! There is no NHL, no NBA and no NFL with what to compete with. At that day and that timeslot what do they have scheduled and what does NBC, FOX, and CBS have to compete with that they can't broadcast USA's only match on a weekend? Because I know trying ABC to broadcast the World Cup on weekdays is a los cause.

The true thing is ABC does not want to deal with the fallout for showing America's boys get the floor wiped with them.

Our collective spirit is too fragile right now to witness such a spectacle on national television.

It would be like the gut check of the USSR sending that shuttle to space.

That's pathetic!
 
At least Ghana has been our pain in the butt. Like, they're a lovable country, at least. Given that, I won't feel bad if we stomp them out of the WC and make everybody forget about Portugal's performance today.
 
These teams are pretty equal right? I think in 2006 Italy drew against USA and beat Ghana. So thinking ahead as I always am I guess I'll root for Ghana to win today. They seem fairly equal sides in the past. I know almost nothing about the current squads though.
