There is nothing wrong with soccer. Outside the US its the the biggest sport in the world and given enough time and promotion it could be here as well. And yes, I love baseball, the flag and apple pie. No flames please.

Sure, it's OK for nations that only have rocks, skulls and rusty tin cans to play with. {ggg}.

I think that reason soccer is so popular overseas, especially in poor countries, is because the convenience of setting up a game with limited resources.

Besides a soccer ball, not much else is needed.

A couple of 2x4s can act as a goal posts, and young legs can burn a lot of energy in urban settings with nothing else to do.

Don't worry, I love soccer. I love the all-american sports of baseball and football more, but the fact that the wait between World Cups is four years kills me. At least the Super Bowl and World Series are every year.

Flames?

Compared to baseball, soccer is by far the better sport.

I agree; I used to not like soccer until I got forced into assistant coaching the soccer team for the little parochial high school I used to teach at. Now I understand the strategies and tactics of the game, and enjoy the game much more. I am really sick of the inter-sport bashing that goes on - all sports are so different from each other and require mastery of different skill sets that no one could honestly say one sport is "better" than another.

Soccer players are the toughest in the world. I will flip by a game and see a guy all-but-dead on the turf, agonizing over a vicious hit he just took. Flip back in a few minutes, and he is up and running. Not just one or two guys, but every team seems to be filled with guys just as tough.

Amazing...

Soccer, from a fans point of view, is the most boring sport in existance, maybe except for bowling.

Who wants to watch the action go back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, for two hours just to see the game end up 1-0.

If they could figure a way to increase the scoring aspect, it could attract more fans in America.
