That's because Americans lack sophistication. It's a great sport once you get the hang of it. If our best athletes played the game, interest would soar.
Think about it. Even soccer playing kids turn to football when the get to high school.

I can't wait fer the World Dixie Cup to start.
Football players wear a lot of gear. Let them play football with the same gear as soccer players and see how that works out.

Seriously, we need at least 5 more threads asking about the opinions of a board mostly against soccer to begin with, what their views on the expansion of the sport in this country are. We haven't quite yet had our fill of smug haters versus arrogant soccer fans. No, really we haven't.
Idk about "against" but I think the realist understand it's growing sport here...whereas the diehard fan wants it recognized as something that it's not...not yet anyway.
I would say the overwhelming majority of regular SportsHoopla visitors are against soccer. That is, they seriously dislike and/or mock it. Kind of a microcosm of the overall sports base in the country. Hell, look at how many go out of their way to tell everyone how much they dislike soccer on every soccer thread. There is nothing making them watch the sport, nor read the posts on the soccer board and yet they feel the need to take a shit on it every chance they get.
The point of my post is this conversation has already been hashed out pretty well. We don't need 10 more threads on the topic. If there is more to be said it should probably be on one of the already existing versions of it.
I don't care much about the battle between the lovers and the haters really as I'm somewhere in between. At the end of the day I only care about what I enjoy spending my time doing. Couldn't give a fuck less how many other Americans also enjoy the soccer events I do watch, nor how many hate it.
