i know about it.
i know they played.
i was surprised when i saw they were 5th. i expected them to go far. i was joyous after the usa-italy game. they showed great football (soccer) but then they got eliminated and played poorly overall.

I know the winners of all 18 WC's but I only watched Germany '06. I'll prove it here:
1930 - Uruguay
1934 - Italy
1938 - Italy
1950 - Uruguay
1954 - West Germany
1958 - Brazil
1962 - Brazil
1966 - England
1970 - Brazil
1974 - West Germany
1978 - Argentina
1982 - Italy
1986 - Argentina
1990 - West Germany
1994 - Brazil
1998 - France
2002 - Brazil
2006 - Italy
To see that I am correct check:

I don't know how many people in the US played in the Fifa world cup, but I personally know. Not many people in the US knows about the world ranking of the US on soccer because not much bothers about it

I know the FIFA world cup is an international football competition held every 4 years. The United States participated in the 2006 World Cup but only managed to score one goal (Clint Dempsey) and was knocked out in the group stages. They fell from rank #4 to #23.

Everyone in the U.S. knows about it, and some knew that they were ranked 5th, but people who actually care about soccer in the U.S. root for othe rteams, and the poeple who would root for the U.S. really aren't that interested in soccer. Btu if you look at all the immigrantsa nd cultural backrounds in the U.S., it's not like the world cup goes by without anyoen noticing.

I stay interior the U. S. & am a brilliant fan. i assume it relies upon on the place you reside, yet over the final 2 international cups I lived in Denver. the fairly some bars re-opened for the early morning video games & they have been continually packed. I watched each and every US sport over the final 2 international cups in a completly packed bar. go searching online, in case you're in a reasonably super city human beings would be paying interest.

I live in the US but I'm not American. I can barely talk to anyone about because most of them don't know what it is. It makes me so mad! By the way U.S. is now ranked either 16th or 18th.
