Probably because there isn't anything to talk about right now. 2 day break from games.

I know!

It's like you were held down and forced to watch their coverage.

How unfair.

Yes. World Cup isn't going away yet.

He also doesn't understand that the USMNT still has to qualify for the World Cup. There are only 32 slots.

This is the worst time of the year for sports.

Hell, even ESPN mails it in and has wall-to-wall Jimmy V foundation coverage.

Why do you think they jizz over Favre/Manzel/Lebron this time of year? AIDS

CONCACAF sorta hit the skids there.

No way there's more than 32 nations in the world. Can't be.

FIFA hints at future U.S. World Cup

FIFA's leaders have flagged up a possible American bid for the 2026 World Cup after the "staggering'' impact of the tournament in the United States.

The U.S. team departed from the World Cup on Tuesday after a thrilling extra-time defeat by Belgium in the first knock-out round, having won universal admiration for their approach.

The level of support in America has been remarkable, breaking all records, with U.S. President Barack Obama and Hollywood star Tom Hanks among those watching the Belgium match and tweeting their support.

FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke told Brazil newspaper Globo: "What we see in the United States is staggering. The audience is unprecedented, more than the NBA.

"The country has the largest level of youth soccer in the world, 20 million young people playing. There is a commitment from FIFA to work with U.S. Soccer and I think after 2022, they have an interest in hosting the 2026 World Cup.''

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has been equally impressed by the American reaction.

He told Press Association Sport: "It's fantastic -- the level of interest in the USA is very high. This World Cup is really getting under people's skin. The quality of the football is incredible.''

U.S. Soccer president and FIFA executive committee member Sunil Gulati has previously said the United States could bid for 2026 but only if bidding rules change -- it lost out to Qatar for the 2022 tournament. The U.S. previously hosted the World Cup in 1994.

U.S. skipper Clint Dempsey said it was clear the game is on a steep rise in the United States.

Dempsey said: "There is a stat about the average age watching the World Cup being 38. That shows that people who have played the game, have grown with the game, are passing it down to their kids. That is going to help us. It is great to see that the game is on the rise.''

Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard was the American hero, making a World Cup record 16 saves during the match, and he said the fact the United States had qualified from a group also made up of Germany, Portugal and Ghana should be recognised.

He said: "We dreamed and we fell short of our dream. But I think to get out of the 'group of death' and then come up against the Belgian team, it's a tough assignment.

"We were right there, you know? We nearly had it, so hats off to the way we played. We are proud of ourselves and this is a young group, so we'll be back.

"We are hungry and we've tasted what it feels like to play against the best players in the world, the best players around Europe, so hopefully we will be back for more.''

We were ranked 5th. Still trying to figure out how we played Italy to a draw and lost to Ghana and Czech Republic.

2026? Hope it's 2022 when they pull it from Qatar.

Well congratulations for you...Ive never seen KC win a superbowl in my lifetime and by your logic I should hate the entire sport of American football because my team hasnt done anything in the playoffs since 1993.

Your and idiot.

Chief fans knocking the team on a Chief board to themselves as smack is always....hilarious

Can we please ban that guy from all soccer threads?

Thatguy isn't bad. He adds burst wherever he treads.
