The USA beat Egypt to advance in the Confederation's Cup and will face world number one Spain on Weds! Who will you root for?
USA all the way, here! (although I support Spain all other times)
I hope the USA can keep it close. Spain is a soccer monster right now.

Holy mother of cannoli! We beat Spain, the #1 team in the world, 2-0. This is crazy!

Yeah, they're down over the loss to the US team. Didn't watch the game, but have scanned headlines here and there in Asturias, and there's a measure of surprise, as if it were wrong on several levels to lose to the Americans. It's like when the Russians lose to the US or Canada at hockey--it almost becomes a sovereignty issue. Holy cannoli? No, wholly incongruent.

I'm not a sports fan, although I watch maybe five events a year on TV. I have no team loyalties, but regard watching a sporting event as akin to watching an impromptu dance performance.
I can appreciate the skill involved in what I see, but it doesn't generate an emotional response from me. I would have been equally happy to see either Spain or the EEUU win.
