Soccer is here to stay, America

By Texoz on Jul 5, 2015, 10:29p 19

Great game tonight by the ladies.

I just noticed the TV ratings for the USA/Germany match. 8.4 million viewers.

"USA-Germany is the most-watched World Cup semifinal match – men’s or women’s -ever in the U.S., breaking the mark set for the Germany-Italy 2006 World Cup semifinal (5.9 million)."

I think tonight's ratings are going to be impressive. With the men's recent success in friendlies in Europe, the US soccer program is gaining popularity at a good clip now.

And on a local level, just about everyone I know has a kid playing some level of soccer, rec or club, here in Austin.

Be excellent to each other.
