Did you care at the beginning and lost interest after your team was knocked out? Or have you never cared about it?

I think Japan will win, and yes I care very much.  I'm leaving to go to the game in a few hours, and I think it has been a huge success (the WBC).  I am impartial as to who wins (I am Mexican-American) because both of my countries are eliminated, but this tournament proved that the more athletic, less muscled up, more agile baseball players are still the most effective. I think Japan will win because Cuba's pitching is exhausted, and Japan plays a better overall game.  Their defense is far better, they get on base a lot, and are superb baserunners and contact hitters.

As a reds fan i wondered the same myself yesterday. Giving it thought though, that night in Istanbul gave all the emotions from anger, sadness and despair to hope, pride and then finally sheer ecstasy. Many of those emotions were repeated again yesterday. Yet whilst i remember the pain of being 3-0 down at half time in the champions league the disbelief and ecstasy at the end made it the best footballing memory i have and it's something I'll never forget.\n\nSo whilst I'd love to win a match comfortably in the final, events like those in Istanbul and Cardiff remind me of why i have a passion for the reds.

i was surprised that only one goal was made the entire match! i guess i was kind of expecting more, but i don't know.\nthis was the first soccer game that i have watched in its entirety, normally i just watch different parts.. but even then i see more action than i did the entire game..

There's still HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS watching it, myself included. I'm an England fan but wanted to see the USA do a lot better than they did, I feel it would have been good for football in the states & for it's international standing.\n\nAnything you'd like to talk about, feel free to contact me via my profile.

Personally I couldn't care less being an Orlando fan BUT.... U know that if Miami was up 2 games to none that there would be a lot of Mav bashing by the Miami fans and than a Dallas fan would be asking this question. So even though as hard as you wish that they wouldn't blast Miami you know that if you were in their position you'd be like "ha ha" so basically its human nature and you can't change that. So just deal with it and next year when Orlando's in the finals (I'd be so happy, I know there's like a small chance) you could care less about whose blasting who.

Oh my god yes, I know exactly what you mean. I'm not into the NBA, and I just can't get into baseball anymore (which isn't hard when you're a Cubs fan,) at least not until later in the season. Arena League is ok if you want to go to a game, but I can't get into it like i do the NFL. I spent weeks getting excited over the friggin draft, for christs sake. I check the sports sites every day, knowing damn well nothing of any significance happened, but praying there will be something new. 11 weeks til pre-season...

sigh... my heart is broken right now...  how I wish wish wish the outcome would have been different.  \nAnd BLOW-OUT??  How can a 3 (THREE!!!) point victory be classified as a blow-out???\nYou will hear nothing but hot air from the B(s)uckeye fans right now.  Yes, their team managed to capitalize on some critical plays today, but please don't shove it down my throat; my pain is undying as it is....

Terrific series!  Terrific postseason!  Full of exciting moments.  Hats off to the Hurricanes, they certainly derserved it.  Very proud of the Oilers.  I really wanted them to win.  But they made for a tremendous Game 7.  Was nice to see Rod Brind'Amour hoist the Cup. \n\nBut now I'm sad that my life will be NHL-free for the next  4 months . . .

yeah i am.  i was never too interested until now.  i will definitely be following it after the world cup.  i wish i had satellite so i could watch the uk games.

Yes I do.  I haven't seen this game yet (will see it tonight) now I'm really excited.  I love to watch games that I don't have a vested interest in - because I'm not nervous about the result.  I watched Japan/Brazil, Ghana/USA.  They're all looking quite good.\nWhat a great sport this is.\n\nI have to comment on Answers999 - what a typically boorish American attitude.  Things they don't understand, can't do, or just plain don't like - has no value to them.   No wonder they are so popular (sic) around the world.\n\nNice one Francis!

Initially no, but now I'm really just not caring.... I'm finding it all very frustrating to watch these days, it's the same thing over and over, just with different people whining.

Many people in the US don't like football. It's not "as exciting and fun" as American football or baseball. Both of those sports I think are lame and stupid.\nI, for one, am glad the US lost. Hardly anyone cares about football here and why should a team go through with little support from their country?\nI have no idea how much US players get paid, but GO ITALIA! ( :

Don't lose faith, come on. Be loyal to your team. In the NFL, I love my St. Louis Rams, and they were like the old Sacramento Kings of the NFL. But now they have been pretty bad (this year they will be good..just watch.) They have been sub-par the last couple of seasons with a great team, but they have done pretty bad, yet I have Rams gear all around my room.\n\nI advise you not to lose faith, brotha. If you're going to lose faith, you might as well be like me and like every NBA team as I do. As I don't have a favorite team in the NBA, because I made the same mistake you're making, by giving up on the San Antonio Spurs in 1996 thinking they would never do anything. What happened? The next year they drafted Tim Duncan, and from 1997-Present, they have won 3 Championships, and I have felt ashamed every since, and I can't even allow myself to cheer for simply one NBA team now, as I like and respect them all.

were you at the game????\nI only ask because this stuff rarely makes it on TV.  Kind of like the fans that run on the field.  They talk about it, but never show it.

I care about it.  It's definitely not boring when you are in the stadium, and when you are watching good teams play.  In fact, the average score has been increasing for the last five years.  It should be more interesing than before.
