It will happen someday...No, not this year, but if it did, everyone who dissed soccer, will be glued to the TV set just like the rest of us.

Horsesh!t.

Soccer will never catch on in a country where real sports are played. Soccer doesn't test anything but an athletes endurance; there is no strength or focus required, and most damning: it's completely mindless.

Baseball and football involve strategy. Intelligence is a huge part of those games. Soccer: no intelligence whatsoever is required, just random running around. Idiots have been predicting for years that soccer is about to break out in the American market ANY DAY NOW.

It has never happened, and never will. A game whose sole novelty is pretending not to have arms or hands isn't going to catch on in a country with as many great, actual, consummate athletes as America. In weenie countries, yes. In America, no.

Yes, because we will have become either a third world sh!thole or a euroweeny socialist state like so much of the rest of the world.
