Sure, they come from the Concacaf zone but most other teams in the region are football crazy compared to the general population of the US. I think most people outside the US who scoff at the idea of the US becoming a footballing power are jealous because it's a country where maybe 2-3% follow football and are getting better and it irks the hell out of them.

I accept that the talent is there, and that a sizeable minority are dedicated to the sport. Its just that this "sawccer speak" drives me insane.*

Esp. when they say things like "the ooooooffence" or "the deeeefence".
That gets on my nerves.
But it seems alot of the middle class in the USA are taking "sawccer" up as its less physical then American Football and ice hockey.I saw some prog. on tv about this.
