    How Long Before CUFC Becomes The Target Of American Imperialist Interests

    It can't be long given the growing interest in English Football here.

    It has become so common to see Americans of all stripes wearing English Football gear.

    You can hear Americans talking about English Soccer everywhere you go now. They even know many of the playerss on the rosters.

    It is not uncommon to hear something like this in the line at the grocery store, at the water bottle at work or at a table in a coffee house

    "Did you see the *such and such* game?

    "You didn't?

    "You should watch them - they're great and they are broadcast in American too - well kinda"

    "Yeah, I know sometimes they are hard to understand." "You just have to hit the replay button ever now and then to interpret what they are saying if you miss it the first time."
