If only soccer could get some national media attention in this country . . .

The US Men just took a team of MLS players (missing key European-based players) to the Gold Cup and won the tournament. Of course only the final game was on cable TV and that was on Univision in Spanish (no problem for me).

Coach Bruce Arena has tough decisions to make on a very deep roster for this summer's World Cup. The US plays Italy in a friendly tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 ET on ESPN. Getting back to Spain, I will be in Spain for the start of the World Cup (in Korea/Japan). The level of intense interest everywhere will be interesting to see.

And the level of interest on Spanish soccer products in the US is probably pretty high.
