Egad, another relativist. I guess we’ll just have to stick with NASCAR and tractor pulls.
#6 Lingerie Soccer. Duh.
If soccer had more special effects like this

then I would be much more inclined to watch!
BTW, lacrosse is not French it is Native American.
Excerpt: Lacrosse, today a relatively popular team sport in North America, may have developed as early as 1100 AD among indigenous peoples on the continent.[1][2] By the seventeenth century, it was well-established. It was documented by Jesuit missionary priests in the territory of present-day Canada. The game has undergone many modifications since that time.
Soccer has always been a European/third world collectivist game.
World Cup Audience in the U.S. Is Growing

Another sign of how Socialized/Europeanized America has become.
How about the rest of the globe take up American football and then their kings, presidents, or premiers or whatever can become involved in safety issues about the game rather than doing their jobs as nations’ leaders.
The best way to watch a soccer match: have a good meal, find a good magazine and a comfortable recliner, and have your wife wake you up when it is bedtime. Long naps during a soccer match improve the game dramatically.
Since the Redskins trademark is now available to anyone, I promise to watch the U.S. World Cup team if they wear the Redskins logo and call themselves the Redskins. I bet that would make some heads explode at ESPN.
Just a suggestion:
Put Land Mines on the playing field :-)!
According to Professor Google, 10% of English Premier League matches end in 0-0 draw and 30% end in a draw of some score. Compare that to the number of draws in MLB baseball (0%), NBA basketball (0%), and NBL football (<.1% since 1974).
support little league rollerball.
soccer is just popular because it is inexpensive for any group of kids to play.
BTW, the World Cup numbers are high because it is an annual event.
Not even close. World Cup is held every 4 years.
When the clock counts down properly, I will watch it and enjoy it.
Really? REALLY??? seeing numbers go from 45 to zero rather than zero to 45 actually has influence on whether you enjoy something? ok. As they say, different strokes for different folks.
Cannot understand why it is not more prevalent in the US.
One of your fellow Scots, a good friend of ours, visits us every Fall and we enjoy watching rugby together, along with our Idiotapolis 500 which consists of 200 beers, 100 chicken wings and 200 miles on our bicycles. This year will be our 6th Annual bike ride through The Everglades.
Even Mrs. N.Theknow enjoys rugby. October cannot come quick enough.
Rugby is less injury prone than American football because the padding in American football gives the players a false sense of invincibility.
So the one actual American sport is one devised by the people almost wiped out?. Oh, the irony.
My mistake, still its still not a white American sport.
Please don't try to Americanize soccer. It's fine the way it is.
‘In America, we have far more interesting sports to watch. ‘
Baseball?. You have to be kiddin’.
Gridiron?. Notbad, but way too long.
Hockey?. Great game, but not American.
Basketball?...not bad, but not American either.
NASCAR?. Sorry, its Monte Carlo, Le Mans, and F1 glamour and cars for me. Redneck F1 just don’t cut it.
Yes, to be fair, I will admit that scoring draws happen in soccer. But 0-0 IS rare. And theres more to soccer than the overrated and overhyped English league!......lol
