[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]USMNT lost to Canada yesterday but that’s not the point. They couldn’t even fill half the not very big stadium on a Saturday with good weather. Meanwhile, there were hundreds of college football games the same day with packed stadiums. Just illustrates how far behind men’s soccer is in this country. [/quote]

No over the top hype, bands and cheerleaders at soccer

We watch NASCAR for the crashes and football for the CTE hits[/quote]

First -- no one watches NASCAR anymore -- it was a sport that caught on in the US but now has become niche again -- like Hockey, like Soccer.

No one watches football for CTE or even the hits.  If that were true the NFL and NCAA would not be reducing hits of all kinds.  It is the entire game that everyone loves.  There is also no over the top hype.  Hype does not get what you saw yesterday and what you will see today.  If all it was was hype, all the NWSL and MLS teams would hype.

The reality is that soccer is popular as a sport to play as a kid.  Some keep with it, most do not.  As a country we are not all that interested in it.  On the men's side without the strong Latino support MLS would not exist.  On the women's side there is a limited fan base that has grown and will continue to grow but will only fill a small soccer stadium if there is some angle or story.[/quote]

Let's just hope corporate America doesn't ruin the world cup here by hogging the tickets that should be available for real fans[/quote]
