And football is cimented strongly arround the world, except maybe US, even though i was led to belive it has been growing there recently.
I will not enter in a dynamic of hate against US sports, and their non interested in football, i always seen this US national team, as pretty solid team, specialy well organized ( as Americans usualy are in sports), what they fail to understand, football isnt like the other sports, organization alone doesnt cut it. It might for a while, for a few games, or for a few selected games, but there is a reason Football is able to atract bilions worldwide, it has alot to do with its beuty, to its unpredictability, and to its genuine lay ground of creativity, and even individual creativity.
Imo as a sport is a perfect blend of mechanized sport action with creativity, and improvisation, that offers simply a beautifull spectacle. A thing other sports or either lack or isnt very noticable. Most other sports out there, or you either are simply counting points after points, or you realy need to get into it, to get a measure of understanding, in order to actualy enjoy the game. Football is usualy immediate.
So i find that talk of americans investing even 20%, they were able to win the world cup, and titles rather silly to be honest, there are alot of clubs out there that were bought by bilionaires, and trowed cash at it, and bought expensive players, and still they dont win much, certainely not more then others.
