Anyone know if this is going to be televised in the US? I only know of soccer on Telemundo and Azteca America.

World Cup will be good.

Not sure who will win it as I haven't got to watch many internationals this year, Brazil will be a good bet as usual. England's best player has just been knocked out with injury

Who is your money on?

Brazil fa sho. I would never put my money on any other team then brazil and argentina. I dont know but with england its always like everything rides on the shoulders of one player. Which is where I believe that the english team goes all wrong in their bid to win the world cup.

Is soccer not becoming more popular in the US now though? There are some great players and Freddy Adu is going to be a star, he will be playing in Europe before too long...

I think Americans don't appreciate soccer because it's not high-scoring enough. When good teams play, it seems like there are just too many
1-0 games. I had a blast watching the World Cup in 2002, waking-up at 5AM to watch one of the matches.
I'll never forget the the US playing South Korea in Korea, the whole stadium was a sea of red, and those little Koreans were pumped up!
I don't think I've ever seen that kind of enthusiasm in a sporting venue before that matched their intensity.
