So glad the World Cup fervor in U.S. is gone.

Hardly anyone in U.S. cares about soccer, but there has been great uproar that - IMHO - is just because it created another opportunity for people to get all jingoistic - rah-rah-rah, we are the best nation in the world.  I loved watching kids play soccer till they got to be about 11, when they just got too strong and fast for the game.

Go ahead - hate me.
