Now that the border is tightening (for now and probably forever if things in Congress fall into place like Bush wants), we won't get as many illegal Mexican immigrants that we are deporting anyway. There was never a real high immigration rate of Brazilians (except supermodels!) and I don't see it happening unless something terrible happens in their country and Asians have always been more of a basketball country hence their obsession with MJ, Kobe, and LeBron.BUT, if Team USA wants the country to pay more attention to soccer, they need to beat Brazil in the World Cup on American soil kinda like the "Miracle" hockey team that beat the Soviet Union at Lake Placid.</div>There's only like 1 or 2 asians in the NBA. you think that because of all the screaming Yao fans. Asians won the WBC. I doubt they would love the NBA more. Theres not a reason to. And brazilians arent only soccer players and super models buddy.</div>You can stop all that yibber yabber about different nationalities considering the amount of knowledge you know about it. Asians are 60% basketball. Just because they win a baseball series doesn't mean they're fully endulged in baseball.
actually, no. CHINA is majority basketball. But Japan and the surrounding islands (taiwan, korea etc) are all baseball.
It was a baseball championship of the whole world. The world cup of baseball. That definetely had to interest some heads. I might not know much about it but all those asian countries do have a lot of baseball leagues.
