Is soccer un-American?

[Fingalthorn]

I think that it would be just stupidity to consider any sport un-national or anything like that.

[Blouman Empire]

I didn't support anyone before. Didn't really get into the game until 2002 when I played in a Fall League after the World Cup. The USA's run got me re-interested in the game after playing a few years as a kid, now it's my favorite sport, heh.

Alright fair enough.

Could've picked a more honorable team, like Liverpool

[Valrem]

No. It's just not as popular here as it is in the rest of the world and there's nothing wrong with that.

[Valanora]

Lolerpool, hah, surely you jest.

[Blouman Empire]

Lolerpool, hah, surely you jest.

18 League titles 5 European cups, bitch.

[Valanora]

When was the last time they won the title or even a piece of silverware?

[Blouman Empire]

Actually the reason why they think soccer is unamerican is because it isn't homosexual enough. You know it isn't a sport like American football where sweaty man jump on each other to get their hands on balls.

[Blouman Empire]

It was 2006 but hey as I say 18 league title 5 European cups don't come back till you beat that.

[Valanora]

It is kinda odd we only have 3 European Cups considering how good we have been over the last two decades. That game against Barca was a farce =\

You folks should consider supporting a REAL football team, like Grêmio or Internazionale di Milano.

[Maurepas]

Not quite. FIFA is awarding both tournaments at the same meeting this December and the USA has submitted bids for both tournaments, of which they can only win one if they are awarded a tournament to host.

Ahh, I didn't realize that bids took place for both years at the same time. Hope the U.S. gets one of them. Would be kind of cool.

Maybe the Superdome won't be eliminated this time.

It's not in the list.

Unless there's another Superdome.

The Superdome is in New Orleans, right?

I'm hoping England 2018, Australia 2022, really.

Yeah, it is, damn,

I can't believe they were even considering Birmingham or Shreveport though,

Or Wellington Phoenix.

I'd actually like to have a soccer team to support, the NFL offseason is too long, and I don't have any sports to watch during it, but, I just can't bring myself to care about anything not closer than Atlanta, plus they don't show it on tv here from that far away.

[Grainne Ni Malley]

Soccer... as American as a Caramel Apple Empanada.

To replace the tired, old baseball/apple pie cliche.

Taco Bell is pretty American.

You don't follow baseball?

There are people who still follow baseball?

No, I don't, I have a hard time staying interested in anything where I can get up and leave for 20 minutes, come back, and nothing's changed,

Really, that fact has been the major reason for baseball's decline in the US, not so great for tv audiences.

[GarriCorp]

Sports in America(listed from most cared about to soccer)
Football, baseball, basketball, hockey, golf..(skip a few)...hunting, poker, gaming...(skip a few more)...paintball...(skip a few more then that)...mini golf...(skip a lot more)...log spinning...(skip a lot more then that)...professional whack a mole and then soccer.

[GarriCorp]

The rest of the world can keep their junky sport, American sports are so much more entertaining.

You forgot skee ball and marco polo.

Glenn Beck says its unAmerican so it must be.

That is not my view, I am just stating a little sarcasm. I think its the most American sport after baseball and football.

Baseball?

You mean guys in tights hitting balls with sticks?

Dude, no one listens to Glenn Beck. I would say that soccer is the most international sport in history.

It went right over your head, didn't it?

Really? I love watching baseball on the TV.

I can do it as I go off to sleep or while posting on NSG at the same time.

Yeeeah, that's kinda the problem actually,

[The Coral Fields]

Actually the world cup is more American than English. The Americans have been in it from the start and English only joined in 1950

[S23Nation]

...the US has a team that made it to the world cup, doesn't it?

How is the sport un-American if they have a team that actually makes it to the World Cup?

So that also means Jamaica is a power house in bobsled because they made it to the Winter Olympics.
