DAL While I sympathise , I can't join your Crusade as I am totally out of love with the game .
Our own Clubs Fiasco existence and the Corruption within FIFA haveleft me as a channel hoppper tonight ,but have seen enough to kjnow that the best team lost and the bent ref ensured BraZil and Neymar will be lauded through to next week.

Just checked Google.com (Believe it's USA Google search) and have noticed they are not celebrating the Fifa Football world cup opening like most Google search engines are around the world including ours.
WHY????
If this is there default US google search engine then I would like to question why you even bother bidding for the tournament the if you don't think much of it and show no repect to the tournament. As usual its all about Money to them.
Before I get off my soakbox just want to say that there are many other footballing loving nations who derserve to host the world cup England included, way before USA. Oh that includes Qatar too.
please correct me if I am wrong on this.
Is this a serious thread? The country doesn't care because of a website logo???
Well does it not highlight that the USA is not at all interested in Football but are happy to bid for the World Cup a second successive time as they see it is a financial bonus.

Not really. Google aren't the USA, a country whose league is constantly expanding at an encouraging rate. Hosting the World Cup isn't exactly the money-spinner it's made out to be either with FIFA suckling at the teat

So I can imagine if the bid to host for the World cup was between England and the USA and FIFA chose USA, you would be ok with that knowing the we have more passion for the sport than they do and we are passionate a footballing nation.
Nick.. by questioning if this thread is serious and you don't think it is, then feel free to delete it.
I'm confused as google has a world cup celebration"google" here ??
I thought yesterdays game was way better than I expected with both teams going for a win.
Sure Croatia deserved more but that's why home advantage plays such a big part in world cups.
Looking forward to Spain v Holland today

No, it highlights nothing.
Just whether a website changes their logo doesn't show a whole country are passionate about something or not.
Exactly, much a do about nothing
An excuse to rant I guess!
Have you even bothered looking at all the countries google seach engines. They all seem to have the FIFA world cup celebration.
e.g. google.aus, google.in, google.hk, google.pl google rus ...etc my point is that virtually all countries around the world had this theme of celebration to promote the tournament yesterday and most still have it today. but google.com in US was the only one that didn't.
Considering Google is the largest search engine in the world and an advertising source you would think they would also be in the spirit of it.
I have family in the US who are into football and were not aware that it even started?? Will be going there on the 8th so I will see with my own eyes how many really have an interest. So far in my past visit I have not seen this other than interest for ladies football from there school girls.
If England ever lose to USA to host the world cup.. I guarantee you that would be the first thing our media and genera public will be pointing out. They sure did when Russia got it.

So you think that if the USA got the World Cup the media would go mad because Google "didn't" change it's Doodle?
I'm confused as google has a world cup celebration"google" here ??
What .. No I am not saying that.. I am pointing out that this is one example of how Americans lack interest in the sport considering Google being the worlds largest advertising tool
Is it there?? How do you see it???
How come my family can't see it... strange
I have check but can't see it.
I used a us proxy and went to Google.com
I have been using
http://www.google.com/ncr
to get to the US site.
Family said they get normal Google search without doodle.
Am I missing something here??
Google here in the U.S shows 'something' about football on the home page..
View attachment 3539
Granted it's not an 'in your face' visual but it shows something...
Also, where does your family live here to not know the World Cup has started?
It's on EVERY sports internet page there is? It's on SPORTSCENTER every day?
EVERY SINGLE game is being shown on ESPN, ESPN 2 etc....
I can only say this as a Floridian but there are going to be more Americans watching the England game tomorrow with me than English...
To say the yanks have no interest in this world cup is way off the mark.
Yes, NCR is a no country redirect but isn't the actual one that people see in the US unless they choose to. This is just a generic basic one
Jesus, it really is a bad state of affairs when people are expected to learn the world's news by the doodle on google!
Although the USA had the world cup not long ago, so they can piss off either way! (and they call it Soccer)
Its be criminal if they get it again before us... but I have a horrible feeling they will.
