Darn good article.
Soccer will never catch on here -- boring, fake injury theatrics, scoring is ultra-rare, and too many tie games.

I don't think scoring necessarily demonstrates a good game. I know people like to see it, but it is really more exciting to see someone almost score. Both sides get pumped up then, instead of just the offensive team.
Soccer won't catch on because the networks aren't interested in something they have to show for 45 minutes before they can have a commercial break. Soccer like everything else would become popular if it were shoved down our throats 24/7 instead of a month every four years. Look how many records Creed sold for proof.
