I'm not going to beat up on soccer but you're right about them turning to traditional American sports as they get older. Hockey is the only "new" sport we've seen attact any kind of following here in the USA.

I do admit to a strange fascination with Curling but I think its a Canukistani mind trick.

LOL!! I knew a kid who was a pretty good kicker on our high school team. He decided the best thing he could do with his soccer skills was try out for kicker on the football team.

It got him a college scholarship, unlike the rest of the soccer team.
