Its a testament to American exceptionalism. If American football had never caught on, we'd be a football crazy nation too, just like the English and the Mexicans.

The rest of the world should be thankful for that. Otherwise, the US team would dominate men's soccer just as much as we dominate women's soccer. The US simply has too much money and too many people not to dominate soccer if any significant amount of attention was placed on it. I think that is going to change within the next 10-20 years.
