| StarOcean said: As an American still in high school, I can confirm that soccer is definitely growing in popularity, I thought it was just me that noticed at first XD I mean, it of course isnt as big as American football still (however being in the Pacific North West American football definitely isnt as strong as in Texas, I have lived in a few states during my high school years). I have noticed a gradual interest in the sport, with the overly enthusiastic fans of the sport converting others into liking it and so forth. Actually in one high school I attended, soccer was the biggest sport. I'm not a sport expert in the slightest, I dont even watch sports; but I do know when I hear about something, and soccer is only continuing to grow here :P |
The Pacific Northwest has three of the better supported clubs (Portland, Seattle and Vancouver) and watching the crowds can se ehow young they are (lots of 20 somethings).
I am not sure how it will work with collegiate and high school system as academies grow in prominence, be interesting to monitor.
