Baseball needs more skill than any sport, except golf. Kids love playing soccer, and I don't see anything wrong with it as a sport. But there are two problems witth selling it to an adult audience:

1) Americans love scoring, and soccer doesn't offer enough of it. To the uninitiated, it just looks like a bunch of guys running around a field for 90 minutes and not accomplishing much.

2) The French play it. ;)

Americans love scoring, and soccer doesn't offer enough of it.

A 3-2 soccer match has as much scoring as a 21-14 football game.
