With all due respect I think the number one thing that turns Americans off to soccer is the rampant fake injuries and dives. North American men find it disgraceful and unmanly to act like you are are hurt or fouled, when clearly you were not, in order to gain an advantage. We celebrate Football and Hockey players who play with broken bones. If they are able, they make every effort to get up in the field of play an continue on without stopping the game. We are angered when a dive occasionally happens in these sports and for the most part can't accept a sport where it seems to be so commonplace.

I agree European football is haunted by dives and such fakings, but I also think people who complain in words like these tend to underestimate the efforts of the ref a lot.
