Eliminate some issues and fix others, sure. Save the sport? That's just stupid.

Sigh.
If its OK with you...I am sticking with what i said...biggest does not equal good. Sorry if you have a problem with that....but I dont believe its such a stretch to believe "save the sport" is valid in regards to NA and growing the game here. (sans Mexico of course). If FIFA has no interest in that, no problem (dont believe that though) but I have to believe that even fans around the world have concerns about what happens within the game.
No, futball is not in trouble of falling off the world landscape as popular. It does appear as though it would be impossible for that to happen considering the support it has now...flaws and all.
