Oh lawdy

If only the money was better. The MLS as a whole just doesn't shell out the kind of money needed to attract the best world-class players.

it is true though

most usa fans only got into it for the nationalistic side of it

support our boys etc

it's so far down the totem pole of sports entertainment in this country

Crash says it best

Mls isn't very popular and euro games are on at a very unrealistic time for the normal american

Better than watching basketball. I still get to watch players flop and I don't have to watch a team score 30+ times a game.

no commercials

i kinda feel like that's a good reason why soccer isn't very popular in america. It's no where near as marketable as the other 4 sports due to lack of commercial time.
Don't get me wrong soccer is a boring ass sport to watch but i think it doesn't get promoted and sponsored as much because of that factor.

It depends on the teams. Greece plays a boring style where they sit back and defend all game. Almost like a trap in hockey. Other teams constantly attack and it's entertaining even if you don't understand the technical side.

Yeah except basketball you get to watch some of the most freakishly athletic/tall/large athletes in the world elevate and posterize each other on the regular.

Soccer is a fucking gay sport, period. I actually semi-enjoyed that USA game today (for soccer standards), but otherwise it's full of soft ass mother fuckers. I respect it can be a difficult sport at times (like any professional sport), but it's boring as fuck really.

I know a lot of people will take offense to it, but good lord is that sport full of shit. The game clock counts up, and doesn't stop at timeouts? REALLY? How weird can you get? How about you have the game clock count down like a NORMAL fucking sport, and you pause the game clock at timeouts and injuries like a NORMAL sport?

Plus, the REFS DON'T EVEN TELL YOU HOW MUCH TIME IS ADDED ON ROFL. Talk about a load of shit..

We don't care how popular it is in Europe or elsewhere, nobody in the USA really gives a fuck about it besides when team USA is in it. Otherwise, i'd rather watch paint dry. Football, Basketball, Baseball and Hockey > Soccer


-Peace
