I love how all the "analysts" on various ESPN 1 shows comment that Americans are not into soccer. This is not directly related to the digital artifact problem the Cable companies seem to have on thier hand, I realize. The commentators blame the American soccer team for not getting Americans into soccer. They should blame (their parent company) Disney and carry the games on a channel that sports casual watching Americans have access to (ABC), if they cared about the feelings towards soccer in America. The first USA game was broadcasted on ESPN2! As almost 75% of the games will be. The ratings argument (The FIFA World Cup apparently does not generate enough viewers to have it on ESPN) is ridicoulus. If a Spelling Bee can score some 8 million viewers, then an American Team playing at the World Cup should rate as much as that. Of course, when the medium for content deliverey is present.
