It's too bad, because a lot of Americans realise that we *should* be excited
about the World Cup, but aren't.

Interestingly, the large hispanic/latino population here in SoCal translates
to more enthusiasm for the World Cup. Perhaps as the US continues to change
demographically we'll see more interest.

Me, I'm sticking with racquetball. ;-)
