I’m still not quite sure why Americans have failed to embrace soccer. We deny the worlds love affair for the game and yet try to justify watching stupid TV trash like American Ninja Warriors. But I won’t get all preachy. I used to be one of the guys who ripped soccer at every turn. And I was able to do some pretty funny cartoons about it all. But I’ve been converted along the way. I love the nuances and the “poetry in motion” of the game. And I’m looking forward to it all. As long as they leave those @#%&@#@# vuvuzela’s at home! That said, here’s a hilarious rant by John Oliver about FIFA, the governing board for the game.
