I'm sure they did, but at a professional level its boring to Americans i believe.
We already have Baseball, Hockey, Gridiron football, basketball...maybe there just isn't enough room.
I really don't have an answer...just pondering, same as you

Soccer isn't very exciting from an action standpoint. The defense played at a professional soccer level is very impressive. It makes for a pretty boring game. Make the goals a few feet wider on each side, a couple of feet higher, and eliminate off sides and you've got something more fun to watch.

I think when it comes down to it, we have an obsession with being number 1. If we won the world cup I think soccer would grow a lot. People here don't want to see a 2nd tier league with2nd tier players, tthey'd rather go to europe and watch soccer.
