Football or Soccer? Why is soccer not more popular in the US?

Post by Dustin Cooley

I realize that on a recreational degree soccer is a really well-liked sport in the United States, but shouldn’t we be more dominant in the World Cup? Now I know I really should be proud of the national staff making waves and moving past their group in this past summers tournament, but as an American, it is anticipated in my eyes that with all the talent in this region, that we really should usually be capable to area a wonderful crew. We are the most diversely populated country in the world. How is the MLS not a thriving conglomerate? Even with star electrical power like David Beckham accepting million to play for the LA Galaxy, it hasn’t turned MLS into anything at all shut to the NFL, NBA, or MLB. Perhaps the MLS hasn’t branded properly, I do not know.

It is recognized that other nations close to the world are better than us because soccer or football is the ONLY real activity they play, but even now. Perhaps our players are not educated in the same manner as other nations, possibly we ought to consider to copy their training techniques or a thing. How is it that Landon Donovan is deemed the US model of a soccer phenom, he is aging for crying out loud. He was remarkable in this past Planet Cup, but it was more than most likely his very last tournament. We require a person to step up and be the Tiger Woods of american soccer. We require some freakishly proficient kid to come along, perhaps an American Italian or a Brazilian perhaps. I’m truly not picky, but just badly want our country to turn into a main force in this sport throughout the world. European stars like David Beckham are coming about right here for huge paydays when they are thirty+ and not aggressive anymore in the european leagues. Its a joke.

I know that component of it is that the talented american youth is not as motivated to focus on this activity due to the fact professional gamers do not make around as considerably money as other sports. Possibly teenagers in this nation would rather concentrate on massive money sports activities like football and baseball. Soccer isn’t sexy in America. Let’s alter that, I would love to tune into ESPN and see broad protection of this sport, even golf will get a lot more protection than the MLS. I wonder if WNBA players get more media exposure. If so, very good for the girls, they deserve it.
