It fells strange to cheer against the USA but baseball means so much to that tiny country. This is their Olympics.

I'm the exact opposite - I want the U.S. to get better at soccer and rugby so we can challenge for #1 in every sport

No. But Americans should always cheer for America.

Mr. Belding

roseyscenario

3/19/17 11:39am

Mr. Belding

3/19/17 11:41am

Yeah but you were born and raised American, right?

3/18/17 11:09pm

Ouch, that hurt. No way, not ever, would I cheer for the U

3/18/17 11:28pm

Haha, alright, I ranted on you enough in this thread, at least I can go to bed

Cougarfan777
