Why is soccer so unpopular in the US?

No one prefers tied games, because everyone would prefer one of the teams to win.

However that has no bearing on whether the match is exciting to watch. When I'm watching two teams compete that I don't care about and they play on equal footing, I'd feel a tie is deserved completely.

And in things like quarter/semi/finals of tournaments there aren't ties.

Keep in mind that alot of the exciting games with big names will be frienlies in America. International friendlies or a big European team like Chelsea against the Galaxy or other MLS teams. The highest profiles matches outside of big international tournaments that get picked by ESPN are friendlies that can end in a tie. The only time I could consistently watch high quality soccer was when I had Fox Soccer Channel and Gol TV, and those cost extra to get. Otherwise, I might get lucky on one of the Spanish channels, but since I don't speak it, it kind of sucks.

 yea man i know. the only soccer i watch is on saturday morning on sportsnet and they only show 1 matc. then i wtahc highlights at half time of the other ones.

fsc and gol tv showd a lot of good soccer along with other channels but they cost extra to get. and my satelite broke so i dnt get em anymore. i guess thats what i get for living in canada.

but spanish commentators r the best dude! specially when they say "gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllll for like 2 mins.
