I don't live in the US but I do know soccer (or football) is not a popular sport over there.

I don't think it is. I'm sure you'll find some people that like soccer, but the majority of the people like American Football.

no way soccer is not an issue... Tons of people love to play soccer and i am sure you can play for whichever school you go to because foreign players tend to be much better than players from the USA

Watching soccer is really really boring. Atleast to me it is.

Me and my friends will sometimes play but it's not a big thing. Like passing and shoorting at walls. Or playing wall ball with a soccer ball.

It's SO boring if your just watching though.

It's not a 'issue' they just don't like it.

As a fellow Chicagoan I must tell you,

Really (american) football is probably the most popular sport, where you and I live the NFL team the Bears is equivalent popularity to a major league soccer team in Europe.

But there are a lot of fans of the MLS in our area it's the Chicago Fire. But it still doesn't touch football or baseball

To Europeans it's the Beautiful Game. It's ok.

I watch it, but i'm alone mostly in the US My peruvian roommate watches it w/ me though

Because they can't play it.

i can play! my high school was great too, best in the state, our keeper is on scholarship to play for some out-of-state school. He was amazing

its boringggg


same with american football. i dont like eitherr

Soccer isn't that popular over here, but depending on the area which you do live in you could most likely find a youth league which you can join to play. It probably won't be the same as far as regulations come and go, but it should give the same general feel when it comes to the end of it all.

I love soccer. It's just not popular here, but it's catching on man.

^^That's not quite true...

We don't make a huge deal about it, some people play it, but meh.

World series?

Some people I know hate it. Others I know love it, just like me.

There are sooo many youth teams but after kids reach high school, most of them begin to dislike the sport either because their parents would pressure them to play or other non-playing friends would call them fags for playing.

The MLS is a fantastic league but it needs more supporters. There's a couple of governing issues I have with it but other than that, the quality of play is great. Could an MLS team compete in the EPL or Serie A? Some certainly could. It just saddens me that a stadium that can fit 80,000 people gets only about 10,000 people to watch a game. The least that I have seen in there is about 1,000. The league is trying hard but a lot of people could care less.

That's baseball. This is a soccer thread. The term world series has been coined since 1884, so it's not new. What's your point? Oh, if your going to stat something about America not playing any other countries, it's called the World Baseball Classic.
