Another great aspect about the world's game is women also have a world cup. Forget about sexist America where the WNBA is the second most exciting female sport behind the athletes that compete in the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. It is hard for us in the U.S. to support a women's sporting event. I will stay out of the debate of male dominance in this area to avoid hate mail, but women's sports in America are given little to no interest by the public. This is not so in world cup soccer. During this magnificent tournament, countries come together to support the team regardless of what sex the players are. Do you remember the World cup performance with star player Mia Ham? OK guys, for a reason other than Brandi Chastain's shirtless celebration. During this world cup, there was a big supporting fan base for the team. The only time in America's history, that I can remember at least, that the nation supported a women's team. All of those crazy femenists out there, start support for the world cup soccer team.
