It is apparent Prince is way past his prime and Rosen is like 7-up, never had it, never will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannondale Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) The explosion in soccer popularity has been predicted on and off since forever. The latest talk was when the local kid - DeMerit made the National Team or whatever that was. As long as it's boring af to watch, I'm not betting on it, or watching it Edited August 18, 2021 by cannondale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifeelasleep Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Soccer is a success worldwide and it inspires fervor, betting the us will be the only developed nation where that is an exception is unlikely. Its only boring af if youve never played, its also accesible to a casual fan. Simplicity, tension, no convoluted scoring system. If more people play when theyre kids there will be more fans, theres still a long way to go but the U.S. has advanced so much in my lifetime i wouldnt count it out.

Folks who think otherwise probably have never left their hometown or state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Periodically I try to watch it, but endless flopping is too much for me. It will need to go on without me. Played coed intramural soccer in college and enjoyed it, was very relatable to basketball for me. Fun to play, not to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the flopping is a problem, i dont watch as much anymore because of that and clubs owned by nations using them as PR. I think its more accesible and thats why its a success, 90 minutes versus a 3/4 hours long match, not exactly casual friendly regardless of "excitement". The national aspect of a world cup is like the olympics it adds extra spice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think marbled fatty corn fed beef tastes gross. Give me food that eats its real food every day of the week. Flavor is just wayyyyy better in wild game.

I'd watch a lot more soccer if they helped me choose a team/player to root for and follow. But "they" need to spoon-feed it more to the gen pop (like me).
