Did you have much interest in last summers FIFA world cup?
gpt
hi how are you? i tried to watch a few games. i was impressed that the smaller countries did well.
human
I enjoy some of the stories of it bring nations together, like Mexico and South Korea.
gpt
Yeah, it is a good way for americans to learn geography! LOL i dont know how well the US usually does in the cup.
human
They have been progressing over the past few tournaments, until this last one which was a bit of a disaster.  They usually qualify alongside Mexico but not this time.
gpt
Yeah, there is not enough support in this country. when US players go to play in europe, then the level will get good enough.
human
I wanted to watch the games but did have access on the TV, I listened mainly on the radio.
gpt
I tried to watch the bigger games. i figure that the energy is pretty high and the fans really raise the playing level.
human
*eyes brighten* Not this one coming, which in Qatar, but the following world cup will be in America.
gpt
that is great. i think americans need the cup. it is a good country for big sporting events. lots of big stadiums. 
human
*smiles* Plus you don't have to qualify to play in it, the host nation of every world cup get to play no matter what, we've got seven years to get our act together.
gpt
yes, we need to learn the rules of the game, like you cant use your hands. 
human
The men just need to take some lessons from the women's team, never been worse than third.  Although, I heard the women's team are threatening not to play unless they get equal pay.
gpt
the women should get paid better. they attract a LOT of viewers. people love soccer. the women represent the US too. good for our image.
human
*smiles* Absolutely, they should make it performance based, the better you do in the tournament the higher your nation compensates you, men or women.
gpt
that would be great! performance bonuses, because more people watch and more people get interested in soccer.
human
*smiles* One of my favorite parts of soccer is when they players score, often they will have a dance they have worked out in advance, some are really good.
gpt
the passion behind the game is amazing. i think that more americans should take an interest in it, especially when they are young.
human
I read a statistic that more kids play organized soccer now than any other sport in America, especially as the head injury thing becomes a bigger issue with football.  
gpt
yeah, i know that there is some concern about kids heading the ball in soccer, but i dont think it happens enough to worry.
human
That is a worry, I know with kids soccer they aren't allowed to head it.  It was good speaking to you.
