What? 19 million people play soccer in this country.

All US National team matched get tens of thousands of fans willing to pay big $$ for tickets.

Several new soccer-only stadiums have been built - more on the way.

Like it or now, soccer will be one of the 4 top sports in this country, overtaking Hockey in 2-5 years.

I thought soccer was #4, but being #5 is even worse.

I'm not trying to argue with you, but Americans just don't care about soccer like the rest of the world. The numbers I've seen on ESPN show Americans like football, baseball and basketball. Soccer and ice hockey are far behind the top three.
