I'm not a football fan. I find it hard to watch this game but at the same time I wake up at 645 am and watch two teams from a different country play each other. If it wasn't for commercials I would not be watching.

other thing I noticed was the MLS will never get as big as NFL. I want it to but I don't have faith in Americans to make the switch.

It won't, but my interest in the NFL and all American football wanes more and more every year.

Arsenal
LSU football




Saints

Damn, that's some real love!

I have been a Saints fan the longest, then LSU, then Liverpool and that's the same order for my excitement for a championship.

Oh, and my 3rd favorite team is going to beat your favorites asses next week!

I used to be fixated on watching Football games. Then I fell in love with soccer.

Now for me NFL games especially are something I put on in the background while doing other, more important activities, like browsing reddit.

Neymar will do a performance of Swan Lake for the Champions League halftime show.

Major deception, this super bowl. Really sad, I am, to be honest.

I don´t like Pete Carroll, which makes it so.

Kudos to the Seahawks, however.

Even a CL blowout is infinitely more exciting, however.

I find that a football game is harder to watch than a bad soccer game. But the thing about soccer is sometimes you only need one goal or a red card to turn things around.

I've found a few good Twitter follows can make any football game, pro or college, worthwhile.

However, I'm probably going to be a football writer of some kind in the future, so take that for what it's worth.

For me, it's...

1A. College Football
1B. Soccer
2. NBA (Golden State, mostly)
3. College Basketball
4. NFL
5. NHL
6. Everything Else

Exactly I can watch randoms team play and its exciting like watching a episode of a tv show and when I watch a USA game its like watching the last episode of breaking bad but a football game is painful

I understand, but with NCAA football having the smell of pro football, as of the last five years or so......


I´d say 1B.

Of course it won't, because there can't be commercials for people to watch throughout the game.

Sure, 20 years from now, ads surrounding the pitch at the MLS Cup Final will be plastered with the Budweiser clydesdale and Coca-Cola polar bear, but it won't be the same. Not to real Americans.

Tonight´s shitshow undermined all the marketing dollars spent on promoting the game to Europeans.

On the continent, the general feeling is, ´I guess you have to be from there (USA), to get that shite´.

The English may get it, but I don´t think so.

1) Sporting KC
2A) Mizzou
2B) Chiefs
2C) Royals
2D) Chelsea

I think. It's hard to quantify exactly "how much" I like each team.
