More Americans watched the U.S. team's valiant fight against Belgium on Tuesday than the NBA final and the World Series final. And that game was in the middle of a workday afternoon. Pretty good for nobody caring.

The future of America in the World Cup will be determined tomorrow. How many people will actually stop and watch? Is this comparable to March Madness? Now way, that's every year (this is every four) and our national pride is on the line.

Ever since the movie "Rio" I've thought taking my family down to Brazil for a vacation would be a great thing -- especially for the World Cup. Brazil has a lot going for it. It's basically energy independent. They have some of the sexiest women in the world -- you know I'm a fan of the booty. Plus all the music and rich culture. However, all that changed with one statement from the Brazi

The world's most popular sport is football or, what we Yanks like to call, soccer. A group of coworkers from Minnesota, who enjoy both the American and European versions of football, decided that there can never be enough alternate team logos and recreated every NFL team logo to look like they were actually a soccer team, or football club, badge.

Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith has been receiving threats in Brazil after an incident at a drum clinic involving a soccer jersey, reports TMZ.

We're having a bit of an 'America's Funniest Home Videos' day here. First there was the incredibly painful faceplant compilation, and now we've got this kid getting smacked right in the face with a soccer ball by his dad.

Carli Lloyd scored two goals as the United States women’s soccer team beat Japan, 2-1, to win the gold medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics on Thursday night in London.

Though it was a light day for medals, there was still plenty of drama at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London on Monday. Here’s a recap of the day’s action:

OK, OK, considering how often "The Star Spangled Banner" is performed, this probably isn't the worst ever. But why would you allow this kid to hold the mic? Granted she's 11 years old, so we won't be too critical, but this is pretty ridiculous.

The 2012 Olympics start this Friday. Do you know which sports are played in the Olympics? Can you name 5 of them? 10? If you can name more than 12, then you are better than me. In all there are 36 different events. Yeah, I was surprised too.

If you missed it over the weekend one of the greatest goal saves in female soccer history happened and Richland's own Hope Solo was behind it all.
