World Cup 2006: Why It Is Good for Soccer in the US

1. One of the biggest ethnic groups in this country is Italian-Americans (but who were they cheering for when the USA played Italy?)

2. The USA was the only team Italy played whom they could not beat – and Italy had a 1-man advantage for about half the game!

3. Soccer in this country has a reputation as a non-violent “sissy sport” – but hopefully Zidane’s head-butt will put that idea to rest once and for all.
