I have been watching futbol since Paolo Rossi's romp in the sands of Spain during the 1982 World Cup. My next door neighbors were from Italy and it was exciting to see the passion behind a game that was foreign to most Americans.
Team USA has been slowly making progress ever since.
The dramatic 2-0 blanking of Spain in the semifinals has been cited as a critical moment in the team's history. Can they possibly beat Brazil tomorrow in South Africa?
I hope to some day attend a World Cup myself. Futbol is not America's game, but it is mine all the same.
