ReplyDeleteI just don't think soccer will ever catch on here in the states, other than being something for kids to play. Professional soccer is awesome. Man U winning their 19th title is a BIG DEAL everywhere BUT in the United States.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I played soccer for 8 years, before it was even as popular as it is now, so it's always held a place in my heart. But I think the reason it will never catch on here is there are just too many other options. With football, baseball, and basketball already well established team sports here in the states, it's just hard for people here to latch onto it. And soccer is all about intricacies and strategy, I can watch a match and be entertained, most people here can't.
