Judging by EA Sports trackrecord a port of Fifa 64.

I can guarantee you that lots of people love the fact that Football is not popular in the USA. You can search for your reasons wherever you want, but I think that trying to impose the name soccer around the world during the late 80's and 90's to a sport that has more than 100 years in countries as mine didn't quite help. Imagine in a futuristic world in which you and your mates consider China (or whatever) an empire who has been bulling your country and many others, you have no way to stop the cultural penetration (you like it or not, it's part of you life and who you are) and they come and say... "Ok, we can't call rock and roll rock and roll anymore, cause it gets mixed up with a meal we have down there in China, you know. Why don't we all call it sucker instead?" On the other hand, what seems to be the characteristics that make football not popular in the USA is exactly what makes it popular all around the world. Ps: I know football is a sport made popular all around the world by english people (lots of english merchants radicated in South America, specially when they were building trains for our goverments in the late XIX century, but even before as our independence from Spain had a lot to do with english smuggling) and it could be consider a colonial heritage (or a sing of cultural penetration). But no one feels that way in countries as mine. |
Eh, besides your comparison being completely flawed, (food to a genre of music where as we're talking sport to sport) but I had always thought that the main reason that soccer was so popular in many parts of the world was the ease to play it at a very young age. It's very easy to have a makeshift goal and you only need one ball to play. It's easy and cheap enough for children of nearly every country to pick up.
Honestly though, I don't think any American is trying to impose the name of soccer around the world at all. Certainly not now.
(Although, I'd be interested in what are the characteristics that may it acceptable in other countries but not in the States)

looks like europeans do have good tastes in sports after all. :) |
I actually live in South America (Argentina) but they show some football matches from europe on TV here. I'm not European and I've never been there :P and I know we call Football what you call Soccer and call American Football what you call Football
I don't know about this but I think "American Football" or whatever is only popular in NA... never heard of europeans playing that sport.
When the both Fifa on PES release on the 3DS and the NGP, some people might be dazzled a bit by the spectacle, especially on the 3DS, but it will quickly wear off when they realise that they are dumbed-down versions of the console copies. Same goes for the Madden games.
It wont be long before 3D enabled console versions appear, could potentially be as soon as Fifa 12 on the PS3

There are several leagues around the world in addition to the NFL.

Of course, they're not incredibly popular, but they definitely exist.
