Its just that american kids dont grow up with a football crossbar in their backyard.basketball,american football and baseball will always be the american's top favorite sports.most likely if you ask an american who's cristiano ronaldo they might not know!
I can second that. I grew up with American football and never even saw soccer on tv. Things are starting to change though. More kids under age 13 play soccer than any other sport, but thats a very recent statistic.
well i think that if you give the MLS from 2-5 years it will be a good league.. though really, the thing is that in US there isnt the passion there is for soccer.. look at south american soccer, people live for it and breathe it.. if the MLS manages to do that then baseball and ''NFL'' disappear or go to a second plane.. i hope that happens cause US soccer has great potential
i will be honest, individually the US national team players are shit, but when they come together to make a team they are strong, stronger than urugay, mexico, ireland, greece, korea, virtually all south american countries wih 2 exceptions(who have among the greatest individuals in the world)
How is it possible that a wealthy, prosperous nation with a huge population descending from England, Scotland, Spain, Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Holland, Portugal and with some of the largest stadiums in the world...
.. and struggle in soccer. Logically the USA should clean house like the do in Basketball.
ESPN needs to pay more attention to the MLS and MAKE it matter
England 1 worl cup, Germany 3 world cups, Argentina 2 world cups, brasil 5 world cups, spain 2 eurocups, portugal 1 eurocup final, scotland.... something, yet these ethnicities are not especially good for "soccer" not to mention italians, but hopefully the US will refrain from defensive catenaccio
Yeah...if the american can...because they preffer others stupids and sooo borings sports...hey edinburg96,i guess that you must be one of the few northamericans that he likes Football =D.Youg gonna watch Argentina's League..it's one of the most famous!
It England's fault. Soccer comes from English colonist who refused to play rugby (which was becoming football) and called it Association Football. Soon it was just called Association. and then Asoccia for short. By the 20th it was "socca" and now we have Soccer. its just our word, like elevator/lift, apartment/flat, cookie/biscut, soccer/football.
Nonsense martinbrufal - The average attendance of a Major League Soccer match in over 15,000 making it one of the best attended leagues in the world. Just an example, the 2002 MLS Cup Final was attended by over 60,000 people. More people in American play soccer than any other team sport.
shut the fuck up you fuckin broken english speaking mother fucker. i dont get how your trying to make fun of americans liking baseball on a video about americans liking soccer (football) we are the americans that actually think the way that you guys do. we are the ones trying to improve soccer here. Thick fucking cunt.

Martinbrufal, Stop bad mouthing the americans like they don't know anything about football/soccer!
You think that you're country is the best at football because you're a cheating argintinian scum!
The americans may be new at the sport, but they can be quite good at it.
I remember when they did well at the 2002 world cup. I think they got as far as the quarter-finals like england did.
Besides, they can't make the sport more 'american' without ruining the game.
So shut you're god-damn mouth!
