What's happening? Stop being so vague.
Soccer is going to grow in the United States, there's no doubt. But the OP linked ratings to the NBA and World Series which is a rather spurious thing to do.

That was a perfect storm of a primo time slot and people champing at the bit with the long delay after the first game. I don't think you'd see that number at any other time than the final.
