I've noticed a definite shift in the American stance on soccer in the past 10 to 15 years. I personally didn't have much of an interest in it, until I moved to an area that was populated by a lot of immigrants (Russian, Indian, Israeli etc) These were my buddies, and of course, they were soccer fanatics, so they got me into it. I think the country, especially the population 30 and younger have caught the World Cup bug as every other country does. I actually like watching any country's match, but for the first time in my life, I was so hyped to be sitting there, watching the game with my friends, and a case of beer, cheering my country on in an international sports competition.
