Man U comes to town and you get articles every day. The U.S. National team plays here for the first time in 11 years vs. Poland and you can't find a soccer journalist the week before. We are through the looking glass people........ This is more of the anti-soccer conspiracy. This is a highlight of "this is a foreign sport" thinking at work in the local papers. Don't see the FIRE....only the foreign teams play the game the way it should be played. Is it a story, yes, but it certainly doesn't deserve this much more recognition than OUR national team.
