re: Is the World Cup getting zero publicity here in the U.S.?

Watching what? I would love to watch US men's soccer if someone or something besides this board, the USMNT website or Big Soccer forum told me where to watch it. I know that sounds lazy but there's no mention of the games anywhere. I could tell you who's playing in ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball game b/c it's advertised a hundred times over the weekend or who's fighting for the MMA Championship (which I hate) b/c it's on every newspaper and airport advertising or which college football spring game replay I can watch...etc., etc., etc.

It's ridiculous that there's not more attention given to this team. It's our freaking national team!!! It's piss poor that the average fan doesn't even know when or where they are playing because there's zero publicity. Rant over

Have you tried pressing the 'On' button on your TV? Sportscenter has had World Cup segments everyday for the past 3 weeks. There's WC commercials every other break. ESPN made a fricking 6-part series on the US team alone.
