On a comment thread about whether Americans are actually caring more about soccer:
The United States plays Italy this Saturday. The really important questions are:
Which US player has to bring snack and which US player has to bring juice boxes?
Thanks, Patrick.
The result is going to be much different than the World Baseball Classic, I think.
Italy romped on the Aussies, then got crushed by the DR and Venezuelan expats.
But then Italy’s team was mostly second-generation Italian-American MLB’ers like Mike Gallo of the Astros.
