I believe sooner or later soccer will become almost as popular in the US than it is in the rest of the world.

It seems like the most popular sports in the US are those where their national team is clearly among the world's best: Handegg, Baseball, Basketball... The US is top in these sports, if only because they're not very popular in the rest of the world.

The US national soccer team on the other hand was never very successful at world cups etc., from 1950-1990 they didn't even qualify. I believe that once they become more successful at a world cup, interest in soccer will significantly grow in the US. And I think it won't take long until that happens, because during the last decades their national soccer team seems to have improved constantly and impressively. Whenever I saw them play in recent years, it was always quite a pleasure to watch.
