I am by no means a soccer fan. But wouldn’t it be absolutely fantastic if we could over the next decade or so become one of the top soccer nations, and Americanize the sport with cheerleaders, Budweiser commercials, stadium rock, etc. and see the libs cry about how the ugly Americans have taken over this “beautiful sport”?

I made my son play football. It is safer.

It's starting already. The European football clubs are instituting salary caps next year, I believe. (An American concept that penalizes rich teams and favors poor ones).

Which is why I'm interested to read why Thiessen thinks soccer is "socialist."

Only if they do away with the offsides rule, wear pads, allow contact.

Oh wait...watch Australian Rules football or Rugby instead.
