The "minute by minute" reports are nothing short of works of art.
And it's Football, not "Saccer".
USA v Czech Republic playing right now.

“The US commentator just informed us "The field is 5 feet above ground level " reports Michale Broe. “This is such an unfair advantage to the Czechs who are known to be better in the air.”

It's pronounced sahcer not saccer and the sport will never make inroads into the US market untill you silly othercountrians start calling it by it's rightfull name. Also see what you can do about changing the FIFA anthem. SynthEuroDisco is so not gonna fly stateside.

As the world's most popular sport, we can live without the US market. In fact, most of us are quite glad you can't contaminate the game (that is, your marketing guys)!

...So...
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you haven't seen the final score for USA match. Nice try guys but lets face it... you're just not good at football (soccer if you insist!)

You say that but you know you don't really mean it. You can't wait to get ahold of our filthy spectating lucre. Don't try to deny it.

No I saw the score. About what one would expect from a country that pays it's benchwarmers in other sports better than it's star soccer players.

The U.S call football 'soccer', because it's a shortened version of the term 'Association football.' (Football was managed/organised differently in the U.S or something.)
I saw it on a documentary a long time ago.

That plus many of us Americans are rather fond of this other sport that we call football and it would confuse sportscasters to no end to have two rather different sports with the same name.
