No matter how people try to force soccer down American's throats it just doesn't work. We have too many different popular sports for it to be successful here. In other countries soccer is the only game in town. It's popular among kids but that's as far as it will go. I like soccer but people in the US just don't care about it.

it's the fastest growing sport in the USA popularity wise, and more and more people are starting to play it. With today's pussified parents, more kids will chose soccer over football. Also wait till the WC 2014 when the US games are beamed in HD onto ESPN in your living room.

No need to turn this into a huge soccer debate (which will inevitably happen), but soccer is the second most popular sport in the 25 and under demographic. They will not all hate soccer when they grow up. Soccer is getting pretty big and will continue to grow.

The World Cup is fricking amazing. It is month straight of captivating games.

I refuse to believe that less than half of the American people watched the Super Bowl. Refuse to believe it.

They don't take into account all of the parties/bars/screenings and such.
