I've only watched one World Cup and that was in 2010 at work to kill time. Really the only reason why I acknowledged it is because we (the US) were in it and I'm a patriot. After we were eliminated, I didn't acknowledge it again. 99.9% of Americans did the same.

Soccer may be the second most popular sport in the 12-24 demographic but how many watch it when it's on television? There's a difference between liking a sport because you play it and actually watching that sport on television. I played soccer when I was little, I like soccer now, but if it's not USA vs. Whoever in the World Cup then I'm not watching it.

I watched the 2010 World Cup at a pub in London with 2 other Americans and a shitton of crazy English people. When their goalie let the ball slip through his fingers, I thought we were going to get shanked.

good times.

What's funny is that you make some (few, but some) good arguments in this thread, but then you spew off shite like this:

...and it completely ruins any legit arguments you had from being taken seriously.

Sure, soccer isn't one of the most popular sports in America, but it's growing and people do watch it. Just because you don't doesn't mean "99.9% of Americans" do the same.
