re: Lets talk about americas lack of interest in soccer

It's just painfully boring to try and watch.

I mean there's what, 4-7 shots on goal on average in most games? I think the USA had 1 shot on goal against Mexico back in March in a 0-0 draw.

Yeah, a 0-0 tie between the US and Mexico is sure to get the sport going in this country.

Our sports have shot clocks to prevent them from getting boring, multiple "scores" per game especially in the NFL anymore which is pretty much an air raid attack and high scoring.

Baseball is slow, but even still the best pitchers in the game usually allow 2-3 runs per start and they only start once every 5 days. Other times you got guys that give up 3-5+ earned run average =, enough to keep interest.

Hockey you're going to get 2-3 goals usually minimum with the way the game is now, but more importantly there is 1 timeout all game, and very few stops in play, resulting in 25+ shots on goal per game and the better teams 30-40 shots on goal giving you constant action.

Basketball has a shot clock to keep the pace up decently and obviously a ton of shots, momentum swings, high flying dunks, etc.

If soccer took away offsides and maybe took away 2 players from each team on the field to open it up more, maybe, only maybe would I consider sitting through a match.
