If I wanted to watch a bunch of dudes struggle to score for hours, I would just go to the bar with my buddies! God soccer sucks!!! It a recreational activity, not a sport!

If soccer is so damn great, why do the best athletes play football, roundball, and baseball? Soccer players are the 5'7" guys that werent good enough for the real sports.

A) best talent is in Europe. No way in hell I'm waking up at 5am to watch it unless the WC is in the west hemisphere.

I don't know where you live, but in the central time zone there will be games on NBCSN, FS1, and FS2 at 8:30, 9:00, and 11:30 AM this Saturday. So unless you're one of those people that sleep until noon, it's not that hard to watch games.

Soccer now nearly matches baseball's popularity. Seven percent say it is their favorite sport to watch, the highest that sport has registered to date.

Soccer has a ceiling in the US that it will never be able to bust through unless the top talent comes to the US.

With the money that the European clubs have, that isn't happening anytime in the near future (25-30 years).

Baseball had a chance to grab younger audiences during the HR years, but the old guard is so anti offense they killed it. I am interested to see how the past few seasons will effect viewership.

I don't understand all the multiple leagues and shite like that. If Louisiana had a MLS team I'd probably be a huge fan, though that will likely never happen.



MLS is terrible quality but can be fun to watch.

Following a team in Europe takes a commitment of watching games at odd times.

Are you seriously implying that baseball has better athletes than soccer?
