Who are the soccer fans out there? (or "football" for the non-Americans) Any thoughts about the preliminary rosters announced yesterday?
I was really hoping Charlie Davies would make the US roster, but I guess he is just too far from match fitness to be included. As a Liverpool fan, I was glad to see Jamie Carragher come back from retirement to join England's provisional 30.
I find it particularly interesting that the 3 soccer names your typical American non-fan is most likely to know will NOT be at the World Cup. That being David Beckham, Ronaldinho, and Freddy Adu.
I'm sure Nike and ESPN were hoping those first two would be World Cup-bound for marketing purposes.
