It is a pro-american commercial you assholes. It is good that it started negative and show the US overcoming hardships they face when they play overseas. While the signs you speak of may be anti-US it is probably not all political. The US in general shuns soccer as a sport so why would ppl want to watch them play, besides to lose that is. I like the fact the the commercial makes us the underdog, and then shows us prevailing, even though we lost. Any, your an ass to even think about boycotting due to this commercial. There is nothing wrong with it at all. You need to take your head out of your ass and get with the program

True. If taken as a whole, it is supposed to be about the team over coming foreign asswipes who hate America. But, it is hard to get beyond the parts I mention.

This was a spin off a commercial I was looking for – the way I remember it though was a few more goals being scored and the end quote being “teams dont want to play us anymore” “teams cant take us lightly anymore” so its not so much anti-american as saying the USA soccer team is actually good now

True, true. I have watched it a bunch of times, especially prior to posting, just to make sure. I know what their attempt at meaning was, but, I just cannot get passed the early part.

See, that’s the great thing about Conservatives: we can disagree without all the invective that appears when talking with liberals!

Actually, it struck me as pro-American. Lots of folks hate us. Team USA went out there to face that, just like … well, Americans.

Consider the Red, White & Blue “it” in the closing shot.

Perhaps you and I just see it differently.

Oh, Buy Blue says Gatorade’s parent, Pepsico, donates more to GOP than to the Dems: $211,218 to Republicans vs $95,390 to Democrats

For what it’s worth.

Makes me even madder. I caught the commercial while waiting for lunch the other day, on ESPN2, ticked me off big time.

I like Gatorade better then the other drinks, too. But, no more.

I also caught a little devil on a sign on the fence, but can’t translate the words on the sign next to it. This kills me…..I saw it the other day and was angry about it. I hate that now I have to boycott my favorite drink, but oh well.
Have a look at the still of the little devil, maybe someone else can make out what the sign says:
