So, don’t say that they can’t be good in football (or rather soccer) ;) . And, I think the women’s team won their worldcup. Ha!ha! so don’t write them down so easily :) Oi, their men team’s reach the semifinal in the last world cup. So, don’t say that they can’t be good in football (or rather soccer) ;) .

They (Americans) perhaps didn’t take the game seriously as they think themselves as the sole inventor and champion of baseball. If Americans think anything seriously (especially sports), they would become very good in it. Just think of football (soccer) - they were nowhere (they could not be even considered under-under-under dogs). Then, in the last men’s world cup, they reached the semi-final or quarter final (if my memory speaks correctly). I think over-confidenced played a part.
