After the WC of 1994 many sad that this would have help soccer growth in the States but this do not happened. Also I heard that it is the most played sport by young ( hard to believe ). What are reasons because it does not growth?

AND THE ANSWER IS....

It's not a betting/TV sport that is leading to hockey's demise and footballs rise over baseball.

Because we Americans know that we are God's gift to the nations,
the aliens of all solar systems, the universes & beyond.

And Arnold Swartzennegar is God's gift to womankind.

Because ...

If Tampa Bay beats Memphis, they can't call themselves "WORLD" CHAMPIONS!!!!!!

I mean, the USA can't even make the semifinals of the Olympics and the NBA champion runs around saying they're "WORLD CHAMPS". What a bunch of retards.

A big reason why ( and I have heard this many times) Soccer is a difficult sport for the American people to get excited about because its not an interesting sport to bet on...the goals/points are so few and far between, many have suggested if there was a way to make a more interesting point system (like football) that people could wager on it, it would be more popular....American public likes goals goal goals and lots of points and action....

Think about it, football has all these points (24-28 a game or so per team) but that's still only 3-4 scores a game....its the point system that's more creative.
