...we don't give a breathtakingly huge poo poo what the rest of the world does or likes. And when we do look what it gets us...soccer. It blows because there are no commercials showing the might of our CAPITALISTIC society. As far as the person who replied that in soccer you don't see someone texting, sleeping, or whatever...that's because we multipask you moron. I guess we could be like those great Eurpoeans and start calling Rod Woodson, Kobe Bryant, or Tiger Woods a monkey and throwing bananas at him like they do. The reason no one falls asleep is if you do you might end up in one of the many riots that happen at almost all soccer games. The only reason the viewer ship went up was AMERICANS wanted to see their team kick the hell out of the teams made up of NON-AMERICANS. I tried to sit through the MLS Cup game and fell asleep three times and no one scored in that time. America was not founded by a bunch of pud pounding she-males and that is why we have always been number ONE! If you don't like this country buy a Rosetta Stone and learn to speak French.

Dempsey did fine at Tottenham. But he wasn't a sexy enough signing for the supporters. They wanted the latest whiz kid from South America. So Spurs bought Erik Lamela for 30 million pounds. How did that work out?

Right on the money. Dempsey had it all but wasn't a big name for their deluded fans despite having scored in 2 World Cups and been a consistent scorer in the league prior to the move. And he had a large following in the USA.

If the African American athlete ever catches on to this sport it will be lights out for the rest. Speed,Quickness,Strength and flat out scary aggressive style of play. I think the African American athlete would revolutionize the sport. Anyone that says a guy like Kobe Bryant couldnt play well is delusional. His quickness and speed,strength and leaping ability would be unmatched. It would change the sport. Imagine a guy like Lebron James picking up a soccer ball at age 5?

One burly young supporter, about 30, grabbed a wooden bar stool and began pounding it onto the floor in celebration, invoking the crowd to go “mental.” The accents were American, but the passion was real.

“It is often said that baseball blew up in America in the age of radio, and the N.F.L. rose to dominance once television took over,” Mr. Bennett said. “Soccer is the perfect sport for the Internet era. American fans can follow games and instantaneously track information from global leagues both big and small, feeling as close to their favorite teams as if they lived within a thrown beer of their stadium.”

Many joined in a throaty rendition of a traditional Liverpool supporter chant — “Oh when the Reds go marching in!”

I mean, I know it's done, but calling it a "traditional supporter chant" seems hyperbolic considering its way more commonly associated with Tottenham and Southampton

the smugness of the americans that arbitrarily chose to support liverpool 2 years ago because they are a "pretty big red sox fan/stathead and love the project they've got going on over there and the history and working class roots of the club" is the only reason I don't want them to win the title. Those people are seriously the loving worst. At least Chelsea and City supporters over here have no delusions.

This is true although there are plenty of normal people who like the sport usually because they played it but they aren't as visible (both because they aren't 300 pounds, and aren't painting their face and singing repurposed european chants)
