AFTERMATH: Okay, so I can't claim to know that much about soccer, but I don't seem to recall Michael Jordan ending his Chicago Bulls career by kicking someone in the nuts during the NBA Finals. Seriously, Zizou, wtf? (link changed to video with French announcer asking "Pourquoi? Pourquoi?")

Watched the game in a beyond-packed pub this afternoon, and it just made me wonder . . . what concrete steps could be taken to boost soccer in the U.S.? Would there be a market for Premier League games on ESPN? Should Major League Soccer actively recruit foreign stars again, at whatever cost? Or do we just have to wait 10-20 years, for the American generation raised on soccer as a major participatory sport to have more disposable income?
