you ARE kinky

That's because you don't understand hockey...

Huh.

Funny how X brings up negative dog vibes in a thread that is ALL about a kicking game. 😰 😰

some day we'll have to have a long talk with that boy

I say this all regretfully because I love the game of soccer and would love to see more of it.

Right, ask the average American what BEIN is, lol. They'll probably say that it's a side dish at a Mexican restaurant. Ask them where the French, Spanish & Italian UEFA leagues are found and what channel they are on, lol. Premier League is on yes, but it has been religated to Saturday morning at 7:00am cst... one game a week, for years!

Now in the last couple years there has been more coverage of Premier and other leagues, but even that pathetic amount of additional coverage has actually attributed to an increase in the popularity of the sport. If soccer received significant coverage, in prime time slots, on the same major networks that other major sports receive, it would explode in popularity.

This is the World Cup and it's extremely entertaining.

But so is speed skating and the 100 meter dash once every 4 years.

If you like to watch soccer in between world cup action, you're in luck. There are cable packages that allow it.

Americans will like soccer when they like soccer.

Or they won't.

Meanwhile, you're free to like it if you so choose.

The question is: Why isn't that good enough?

That's good enough for me. It's big in this town and many others and will only grow.

Meh. I didn't realize hockey or the nba had regular seasons but enjoy the playoffs.

Not hardly.

The "one comment" in here was indicative of all the talk elsewhere as well. It's like a disease. You don't see it because your a real fan of the sport. And that's OK.

It's funny how upset you get about this.

No, the question is: Why the helz are you posting in this thread?
