I don't think you'd honestly understand the meaning of such symbolism and ethnic gesture without living in the America.

Very true. I love watching the Prem because there is so little going on, yet so much going on. A lot of people in the US (at least a lot I know) have been watching the WC because the USA has been doing so well (and is that good) that don't normally watch soccer/football. Or any at all really. I have been asking them what they think and they usually reply "oh its boring" or "theres not enough scoring." When I point out to them the flow of play and all the other things that people look for or appreciate when they watch soccer, they start to like it. Its a microcosm for how people can just change their mental process a little bit, and see something in a completely new and exciting way. Its actually quite encouraging for someone who is usually pessimistic about humanity.

It's like that with any sport, whether it's soccer, football, basketball or hockey. A person needs to understand what the game is about to enjoy watching it. Although I do wish there was a bit more going on in soccer, it's a real pleasure watching talented teams play, like Spain against Honduras yesterday.

I was talking about anything, not just sports. Thats why at the end I said "its a microcosm." You think you may not like something: a food, culture, kind of music. But with a little patience and mindfulness, anything can be interesting and exciting.
