Truth. I'll obviously be disappointed if the US doesn't show well and advance out of the group stage, but I'm going to enjoy every other match I'll be able to watch (which will be as many as possible). I don't think I would give it another thought if the US wasn't in it. Still say the sport has to get rid of the goofy off size rule so maybe there can be some scoring, until then Americans will always think it is a secondary sport played by foreigners , though my daughter does play it
