Soccer will never catch on in a country where real sports are played. Soccer doesn't test anything but an athletes endurance; there is no strength or focus required, and most damning: it's completely mindless.
Baseball and football involve strategy. Intelligence is a huge part of those games. Soccer: no intelligence whatsoever is required, just random running around. Idiots have been predicting for years that soccer is about to break out in the American market ANY DAY NOW.
It has never happened, and never will. A game whose sole novelty is pretending not to have arms or hands isn't going to catch on in a country with as many great, actual, consummate athletes as America. In weenie countries, yes. In America, no.
No kidding...I went by a school and the parents are trying to get these teen girls all involved in succer...Half were running around aimlessly and the other half were standing around talking on their cell phones.
Bet they found it so exciting, they had to call and tell their friends about it...yukyuk
I might have to repost #41.
If you see rugby union you will know what a real sport is. NFL is just as silly as soccer compared to rugby.
