If you don’t like it, don’t bother watching it. I plan to watch as many of the games as possible. Get used to the fact that more Americans are watching soccer now than ever before.

They have been saying that for 25 years and it never gets popular.

When the United States wins the world cup it will officially be a third world toilet. A country that is good at soccer is horrible at everything else.

Don’t get too excited. Before the 1990’s NOBODY watched soccer either on TV or in person...

I don't care for soccer nor do I enjoy watching baseball even tho I'm a softball fanatic. Both are equally boring......

With that being said, the best vacation to Honduras I ever had was back in the 90's when the World Cup was going on. It was electrifying! At the small resort we stayed in Tela Mar, there was an outdoor bar that had a 32 inch TV and the seats were jam packed with Hondurans watching every single game that was being televised..........You couldn't help but get involved in the atmosphere of people who love and understand the game.......

GO USA!

Exactly. No idea why some people choose to find the sport itself so threatening. But that's the beauty of the free market. You can vote with your remote, phone or mouse. The fact that ESPN keeps offering more and more tells me where those free market votes are going...
