The American presence in the World Cup has come to an end, and we’re left to do as we please, whether this means following the rest of the drama in South Africa or shifting back to doing whatever we were doing before the group stage.

A Plea For America’s Casual World Cup Fans To Stick Around
↵There’s still plenty of World Cup drama ahead of us. You really should keep watching. But if you’d rather lament for a bit and then opt out, that’s your prerogative.

Go forth and, I don’t know, mentor a gaggle of troubled youths at summer camp.
