DBWI: What if the USA still stunk at soccer?

I fear it's only a matter of time before they reach 6 nations levels - after all they nearly beat Italy last year ;)

True, they did nearly beat Italy :p Nearly beat Italy...

And yet, I still feel safe saying that given that Japan beat the Boks, the Land of the Rising Sun will likely get there before them :p

You really think the American obsession with Football - and when the Super Bowl is the most watched event on Earth, and we're far from the only ones who call it soccer, yes, I am going to keep calling it football - would have more overlap with rugby. Maybe some of the youth rugby leagues being started by parents worried about brain damage from football would have an impact here.

The USA doesn't stink at 'soccer', or football it is known throughout the rest of the civilized world.

It has won the FIFA World Cup THREE TIMES, after all!

Yeah, our women's soccer team completely dominates their end of the sport, and make the strongest case for a pro-sport allowing men and women to play together - there is talk to MLS may even start to allow female players in the next year or two.

Compared to football, baseball, or even basketball, soccer allows women to compete on much more even footing with men, no pun intended.
