It's been over a month since the World Cup and the ripple effect can still be seen throughout the city. Every four years we embark on the discussion about why Americans haven't truly embraced soccer (futbol/football).  I think we're on our way. My only gripe about the World Cup is that the trophy looks like the Swamp Thing grabbing a 16' softball.
