RE: Soccer Will Not Become a Top Sport in the U.S. Anytime Soon, So Just Enjoy the Game

in #sports7 years ago (edited)

Hahahahahahahaha ... Americans and soccer football; there's a funny saga. Every World Cup, they will make noise and nothing-nothing for them.

Last World Cup made Tim Howard briefly the biggest sports star in America because he goal-keeped amazingly in a losing game.

I have an uncle in America whose theory about Americans and soccer football is that they don't like games where it is possible to score 1-0 (or even 0-0) and where long periods can pass before anyone scores. Compare with basketball where one shot is at least two points and games routinely end in 90something-80something or NFL where you can get 7 points with a touchdown.

@donkeypong does make an excellent point about the money aspect sha. If soccer paid as well as it does in Europe, maybe Lebron James would have played soccer as a child instead of basketball lol


But not to worry, if America doesn't like soccer, so what? It is the biggest sport in the world in ;iterally every other country on Earth.
