11. Nothing, most Americans won't even know it happened because there are few sports more despised in this country then soccer.

I beg to differ. When the Women Soccer team won the cup, the popularity and press coverage sky rocketed. In fact it was responsible for many kids getting into the game. Keep in mind that that was women soccer. Americans tend to watch the men sports.

If the Americans beat England (unlikely), You would see USA TV ratings move up very fast for the next games. If they made it the final game and won the cup, (even less likely on the edge of WILL NEVER HAPPEN), you would see record numbers of Americans watching, and learning.

Today and for the last 10 years we have more and more kids playing Soccer than foot ball in elementary and middle schools. At some point and time these kids who have grown up to adults, will start watching. I'm not one of them . But the dynamic could change with a some sort of a great showing from the USA.

Of course its all unlikely, and I for one, dont give a shit
