Anyone that would watch soccer on July 4th is a communist.

It will probable be late morning match for euro and asian tv audience and cleared out by early afternoon.

The bigger issue for evening 4th of July festivities will be whether the 'youths' decide to attend en masse like with the rodeo or local malls.

If you're a real American, you'll be at the lake or beach rocking a US flag Speedo.

No different from "football" on Christmas or Thanksgiving etc…

Completely different. Football is as American as apple pie.

Fan of easy access, are you?

People who bash soccer itself are overcompensating for something.

There are aspects of every sport worthy of criticism (in soccer's case, FIFA corruption, foul simulation, unpatriotic women's team, lack of coaching and player skill for USA men's team, and Ted Lasso come to mind). But the sport itself when played at the highest level is "the beautiful game."

If Team USA plays and wins on the 4th of July, that'd be a great thing. Unfortunately, I do not have high hopes for our team this WC. And I have not seen matchups released for July yet.

Nah, not really. It's a sport for third world countries and euro trash, but I'm being redundant.

Yes, you are correct.

A player getting slightly bumped by another player, sliding into a flop holding his leg like he just got sniped by Martin Riggs, and then being back 3 minutes later running 15mph to set up to score is a beautiful game.

Sounds a lot like the NBA.

It's both but soccer is even more ridiculous.
