Let's just all agree that Football (real football) is awesome!


Around the Network

I like Soccer/Football, just not enough to play on a sports team or pay attention to teams stats, players, etc.



ive been to see about 50 football matches so far in my lifetime, most to see my local team play and once to see Man Utd at Old Trafford



mmin was wrong. There is no sport to my knowledge which has numerous deaths. But as where you.

And where thats happening is in the occasional soccer match abroad.

This sentence was what was incorrect. Sorry for over reacting :/

^this!

 



I think soccer in the U.S. has had a hard time because firstly it is not a sport that gets exposure to our youth to play themselves.  So the young develop no love of it in general, because they don't get much of a chance to play it in an organized fashion.  School gym time is often put to more generic exercise pursuits.  Teams for schools usually center around basketball, baseball, and (American) football.  And perhaps some swim and track team stuff.   So no one wishes to grow up to be a professional soccer player.  The sport is simply not in our minds usually.  And since the game is foreign to us in the sense that we don't play it as youth generally its hard to envision enjoying a professional match.  Pelé brought some interest to us in the past, but it was short lived.  And if anything Beckham just exudes "annoying". 

But not all hope is lost.  Our hispanic population is growing tremendously in the country.  And as such they are bringing a love of soccer with them.  Give it a few decades and things will probably be a lot different here.

I have a feeling America wont gorw to love football as quickly as most other countries who are absent of the sport. Park Ji Sung is now a God in Korea and China and im sure lots of Youngesters in those regions will have a bright future in the game. The bottom line is, too many sports are already heavily established in the US for there to be any extreame developments in popularity.

Legend, he's been on top form for us at the moment

 



Ye he has. He shows so much passion and determination. Like Tevez he works for his shirt. Berbatov on the other hand.....

30 million, down the drain
