I think that most americans don't appreciate good soccer because they don't see it. I'm sorry but the MLS is a joke compared to the elite leagues of the world. We will never be competative on the world stage unless more US players start playing their club soccer overseas, which will in tern have a negative effect on the MLS and a negative effect on the sport in this country - a no win situation. I love soccer and wouldn't go to or even watch an MLS game on TV if you paid me.
I'm an England fan (big fan of the EPL so I know about the players and Ihave some English blood in me) and they've looked terrible this Cup but they keep winning. Once they go up against a team with some creativity and finishing ability (two things the US lacked completely), read Portugal, they'll be out. Germany, Portugal (provided Ronaldo is fit) and Argentina all look good and very capable of giving Brazil a run. Argentina has been fun to watch so far.
