It wasn't invented in America.

Because everyone complains about our football not being used with our feet.

Excuse me? USA has pretty much been better than Mexico for the past several years.

Depends on the team you watch. If you Barcelona then you'll definitely be put to sleep with the way they play!

I'm American, so I can say this. This is not the reason. When we don't follow along. It's because we don't care how someone else does it. We just do it the way we want. Not because some pride reason. People just ignore it. Like any other sport that's not interesting.

Yeah but, with only 5.2 million Native American's left, isn't the US basically 98% comprised of descendants of migrants from other countries?

Indeed, the Mexican team should clearly credit Spain with all future successes they may have.

Believe it or not, I don't actually look at the names of people before responding to a comment.  And if you want to be left alone, why would you comment on a public forum?

USA is all about capitalism and economics. Soccer is not sufficiently monetized yet. It lacks the backing of huge constant sponsors because you gave two 45 minutes halves of play that are commercial free. So tv networks are less inclined to schedule soccer with so little time to sell advertisements.

Most soccer leagues around the world are not profitable unlike the NBA and NFL.
