100% true. Then it died down Chat Icon
Do you think its a sport where the mens team doesn't really excel at,so thats why the US isn't so supportive?
Really no drama girls,just a discussion I've had with many friends in recent days.


I don't know to be honest. I think it's not as popular in general. My family has always been into it so to me I'm in the know about it. But soccer is the national past time for many Central American Countries and no one gives a hoot about baseball. I don't know why.

I think it's because it's not the national sport. People didn't grow up watching & loving soccer like many other countries do. I think this is a big reason as to why.



True. I went to my first pro game before I even went to school.
But look at the Japaneese.. they hosted last time. If they can get into it,why not us here? I strongly doubt soccer was their nations sport Chat Icon



but the same argument can be made for hockey, why is hockey not so popular as other sports in the United States... it is fast paced, exciting and yet a lot of people like to watch baseball instead of hockey (no idea why? Chat Icon )



Because the Canadians or Russians give them a run for their money, Americans don't like coming in #2,much less #3.

sadly, they work great as individual players but they leave a lot to be desired as a team.Chat Icon

They've actually voted to cut the work day in Croatia( when playing) or if you have to work,your boss has to televise the games.

This is an interesting but long article about the History of Soccer in the US.

History of Soccer in the US.

It has faded in & out of popularity at different times.
