[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Soccer will take over football as the major sport to watch in the US. The market is growing tremendously. You can see this that an American is soon going to be the most valuable soccer player, potentially worth over $200mil!  An American!!. Can't wait to see it happen for Pulisec

I remember this being said way back in 1994 when World Cup was first (?) hosted in the US. After World Cup, soccer was forgotten about again. Every four years or so, soccer reappears and gets hyped up again - soccer is going to make a breakthrough! soccer is finally going to become America's #1 sport! Look at all the kids playing now! - but it never materializes. Its popularity is never sustained outside the big events - even though tons of kids are now playing.

Is it popular for kids to play? Yes. Will it break the top 4 sports in our lifetime (football, baseball, basketball, hockey)? I doubt it. Even with football's decline, I don't see professional soccer moving up to the same level as the other big 4 sports.[/quote]
