This debate has been going on for years now! Do people realize that finally the U.S.A. has the MLS and that every year that goes by Soccer has been growing to a point that allot of the USA National team players actually play in Europe! Soccer fans just need to let Soccer take its course & soon enough it will catch on.

It will catch on eventually just because we have the largest number of youth players of any country. It's only a matter of time until we produce our own Messi or C.Ronaldo.

I'm not sure that women's soccer is popular here in the states. They are very successful and are probably the best in the world. Men's soccer gets more of the attention whenever they play.

well, during the world cup, the US men's team had the country attention.

the MLB, NBA, NHL and NFL are the big 4 popular leagues in US.

Anyway enough for certain supporters to follow the match against the Italian team in Italy, approximately one month ago... :)

I wanted to watch the game since it was here in Chicago but ESPN didnt show it on TV instead they put it online.:mad:
