America and the Cup

"I was too busy watching the Irish down the French at Franklin Field."

"Guess what? I just bought a set of Topps bubble-gum World Cup cards. I finally got the entire Saudi Arabian team."

"Wow! I'll trade you two Colombian goalie cards and an official World Cup backscratcher for one Saudi."

"Get lost. Besides, I already have an official fly-swatter."

By 1994, the United States will have each American talking and breathing soccer. When America promotes an event, it goes all the way. Sort of like Maradona rushing across the length of the field for a last-second GOAL! GOAL! GOAL!
