Because American doesn't know what is Football. They don't know even the right name. Doens't existe "Soccer". It's Football. Foot Ball = Football.

When they learn this they will know what is Football.

The same reason you need to bring Y goals for American Football. When I played soccer we just used our backpacks or bags. It's a weak theory. All you need is a ball. No hoops like basket ball. I think your just attacking Soccer because of possible supposed reasons?

The abundance of rednecks lol

I hope USA squashes England :)

I have no hate towards soccer and the people that play it.  Sorry if it seemed like I did.

-One last question, though:  I'm trying to wrap my head around the concept of playing soccer with back packs and stuff like some of you have posted.  How does that work?  If you kick the ball and miss the backpack/bag won't the ball fly off, never to be seen again?

and i hope ROONEY kicks hard in USA's hopes

For one thing the US is going to have trouble adopting a sport whos name they stole.

I think football is too fast paced for americans also, its 90 minutes of play interupted by only one break where as in handegg they are constantly stopping and starting, google says americans are fat so they are never going to play a game that doesn't give them breaks every other minute.

Really though look at a number of sports that are popular, Handegg, Ice Hockey, Wrestling.  Americans seem to like fake violence mixed with drama.  I mean you look at wrestling with its fake violence and drama trashtalking and you look at the others and its the same.  There is a reason padding is worn on these other sports and its be be violent with 'hard' tackles or fights breaking out but at the same time false, just like wrestling.  Fun fact:  If a wrestler were to ever use a handegg star gimmick the world would probably implode.

but FUTBOL/FOOTBALL it's popular in america, just not USA!
