I agree that Ann Coulter should have really kept her mouth about this "Soccer is not 'murican" drivel, but then again, why should I be so surprised that she put her foot in her mouth yet again?
The United States has participated in every FIFA men's soccer qualification tournament since its inaugural tournament in 1930. You know, the time of our great-grandfathers, Ann? By the way, we do have soldiers like myself who are interested in the World Cup tournament. I have been able to carry on a conversation about the World Cup with fellow soldiers in my unit.
I would also like to say that the United States also has a great women's national soccer team. We have won 2 trophies in the six FIFA women's World Cup tournaments that have taken place. It could have been three, but we lost to a shoot-out heartbreaker with Japan in 2011. Hopefully, if nothing else is going on, I can actually go to Canada and watch the games there. That would be awesome.
