Too little scoring. Watching it’s like listening to a broken record.

The NFL is the opposite. They want more scoring so the running game has little effect on the game other than to run out the clock. Baseball has the DH-it stinks.

Soccer’s been around longer and is world-wide. Will our football take over the world like salsa replacing ketchup?

That’s definitely not true. Ridiculous ticket prices that are out of reach for working Americans is the problem. I’ve been at the World Cup abroad, and there were a ton of Americans there. I took my son to a reasonably priced ‘friendly’ between Real Madrid and Manchester United at the U of Michigan football stadium in Ann Arbor and ~106,000 people showed up. The prices now are out of control.

Thanks for mentioning soccer.
I had no clue what the World Cup was.
And now that I know, I still don’t care.

No red-blooded American want's to spend the afternoon watching some sexual deviants prance around like woodland fairies.

“Soccer just doesn’t appeal to america“

I get a kick out of how they try to make soccer look fast action packed and dynamic in the commercials. Every once in a while I surf into a game and I’ll watch for twenty minutes or so waiting for something to happen and it never does. At the rare times the ball gets into what would be the paint on a soccer field there’s no coordination to get it in the net and it just gets kicked away very quickly. BORING.
