The challenge is how to make it more than just an every four years thing.
We do have The Gold Cup in 2015 and 2017, with WC qualifying starting soon after. But that’s mostly games against other CONCACAF teams, which frankly doesn’t do much to get people excited.
But in 2016, the Copa America is coming to the US, which is basically all of the South American teams, like Brazil and Argentina, with six CONCACAF teams, including USA and Mexico. It is originally slated to be a one-off, but if successful, it could become a permanent fixture that could rival UEFA’s Euro tournament.
My youngest Daughter played Soccer until she was old enough to play basketball. That was all the soccer I need to see for the rest of my life. It’s something I might watch, like I’ll watch a bit of nacar at a sports bar out of the corner of my eye while talking with friends. I don’t consider it a spectator sport, really.
On a side note, I’m an avid bicyclist, and I feel the same way about bicycling. I’m kinda that way with all sports. I’m more a doer than a watcher. I do have Tour de France DVD’s I watch while on the trainer, though.
