even I signed up in an attempt to help land the 2018 or 2022 World Cup in the US....here's your chance to sign up too....

I've got some pretty incredible news today: The Bid has reached 400,000 supporters!

That's more people than live in St. Louis, New Orleans, or Minneapolis. It's almost the population of Wyoming!

We're at a huge moment for the Bid. The official Bid Book is in FIFA's hands, and the 2010 World Cup is about to kick off. The next month is our best chance to show FIFA that American soccer fans are as loud, passionate, and intense as soccer fans anywhere else.

Now that we've hit 400,000 supporters, our new goal is to reach half a million before the World Cup is over.

You can help out by forwarding this email to everyone you know and asking them to sign our petition:

You can also click here to send an email to your entire address book.

With the World Cup just over a week away, I'm already excited to watch the best players in the world representing their country on soccer's greatest stage.

I'm even more excited about the prospect of this tournament coming to the United States in 2018 or 2022.

Soccer represents everything the U.S. is about: freedom and endurance, creativity and diversity. Winning the honor of hosting the FIFA World Cup™ would help soccer continue to grow in America and become our nation's top sport.

With 400,000 people supporting our Bid to host the World Cup, we're already well on our way.

Thanks for being part of this. Now help make this movement even bigger by sending this link to everyone you know:

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.

      I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
