Stop being a pessimist!!

Prime Time said:I agree a little on the Soccer growing. I wouldn't say it is growing by leaps and bounds but it is creeping. MLS just added 2 new teams not too long ago. US has high(er) expectations than It usually does because more people are interested. etc.
Whitedolphin54 said:I actually thought that after you hosted the WC it would be massive over there. Just didn't happen :confused: . Is it because Americans like high scoring games like Basketball do you think? Perhaps we should award 5pts for a goal :eek:

ckb2001 said:What's interesting about the perception of soccer in the US is that there are many "soccer-bashers" in the press that keep stating Americans aren't interested in soccer: been there, tried that. While that alone doesn't seem so extraordinary, it is once you notice they do that ONLY for soccer and no other sports!!!!
Also, ESPN's management structure works against popularizing soccer in the US. ESPN Sportscenter is more or less independent with regards to what they decide to show. So, you've got all these replays of baseball stuff because all the Sportscenter guys either openly hate soccer or simply don't care.
