In late June, the United States National Team was coming off its stunning performance in the Confederations Cup and Steven Colbert posed the questions: "Is It Time to Care About Soccer?"
Anytime Colbert gives you a shout out then you've probably made the big time and soccer's mention on the show, while tongue-in-cheek, meant that perhaps the sport was moving off the back burner.
Many of you have probably seen this already, but we weren't around back then and we're throwing it out there now.
First clip is Colbert's rant on soccer and the second clip is his interview with Alexi Lalas, former LA Galaxy General Manager and ESPN personality.

I think we owe Mr. Colbert a game and a beer.
