How World Cup 2010 Changed America


There is no question that the FIFA 2010 World Cup, coupled with the US team's success in group play, has changed the way our country looks at the game.

EPL Talk writes about 7 different ways that the World Cup will change soccer in America-


"...if we take a second to consider what impact that the 2010 World Cup already has and will continue to have over the next 12 months, it’s quite awe-inspiring. Soccer finally got the respect it deserved. Record breaking TV numbers. More media exposure than ever before. Everyone and their grandmother seemed to be following the World Cup or at least aware that the tournament was on. Very few dinosaur sports journalists bashing the sport. The biggest meme of the summer? Vuvuzelas – which got everyone talking about the World Cup. Now comes the challenging part. keeping the momentum going after the World Cup ends."
