Every 4 years we get silly articles touting America’s supposed new love for soccer. Mostly from the usual self-hating Americans that want so badly to pretend like they are Europeans or feel soooo ashamed that our most popular sports dwarf soccer in interest.

As if the fact that India, Australia, Ireland, Japan, and Canada also being lukewarm to the sport never crosses their mind. Nope, we are just all dumb rednecks for not seeing the wonders and sophistication of it.

Once the US is out of play, the interest in it will drop to nothing.

In your list you have Australia. I have to admit that I like Australian Rules Football. It is a fast-paced sport that has some truly amazing plays.

Agreed. I think most Americans hate soccer because ... 1) it's BORING to watch; 2) Americans play to win - too many ties in soccer.
Actually it's no different than Prius owners or vegans, etc., always trying to shove their liberal looney "cause celeb" down our throats. Only they do it every year.
