American men help soccer get back to normal

[ via suggestion ] In an Olympics where the US dominates so many sports, it’s heartening to see that we still don’t quite get soccer football.

“That’s why I love American men’s soccer. In men’s soccer, we’re the punch line. We’re the Los Angeles Clippers. We’re the Cincinnati Bengals. It’s great. Every single year, American soccer people talk about how we’ve caught up with the rest of the world, we’re all on a level playing field, anything can happen, and then, every single year, the U.S. men’s soccer team does something hilarious, like lose to Iran. This has been going on for 25 years. “
