From the amount of vitriol soccersucks expressed, it seems clear he somehow feels threatened by the fact that something he does not understand (and consequently like) is growing so much. Otherwise why would he have bothered to write 125+ words on the topic? As for manliness – he wouldn’t last 10minutes of running in any adults’ soccer game; people who haven’t ever played the game just don’t have the lungs for it. And if he is an average American from a state other than Colorado he is likely overweight.. I would readily place a bet on him.

What universe is “Soccersucks” living in?? No primetime NFL game attracts anthing close to the viewers who’ve been watching the world cup. As of demographics – I tried to find a sports bar in Boston to watch the game. Each was more packed than the next. Average age – college and above. Mostly white. And most surprisingly – they actually understood the game – a big difference from even 4 years ago.

You’re right about MLS games. They will always struggle against the other 4 major sports, and the competition for TV time. But soccer has definitely arrive in the USA.

If your man enough I will play a game of futol and show you how manly it is. Of course it does not compare to throwball, we don’t hold each other tight just so a runner can run past you. might as well hold hands. FU Throwball, Futbol rules. Americans from hispanic heritage are just as much americans as italian americans, afican americans or german americans. So we all count. Just look at our president….Check out Youtube and see all the non- hispanic americans and you will cry a river… go back to redneck town please.

Wow, what pathetic ratings. Especially compared to any primetime NFL game. And try getting these ratings in the absence of the World Cup. You’d be lucky to get 10 people to watch a MLS game. Oh, and all those people watching on TV? How much you want to bet they were 99% immigrants from Latin America? In other words, AMERICANS weren’t watching. Meaning soccer is only a popular sport amongst a demographic it was already popular with. Which means zero for the growth of the sport in the U.S., because with time and assimilation, we’ll take those immigrants and pull them into the comfortable confines of real sports in the U.S. – football, baseball, basketball, and hockey. Leaving soccer, once again, where it belongs – in the gutter. Yes, soccer blows, soccer is boring, soccer is just 90 minutes of pure awful.

And all of you fans of it are complete retards for liking such a WOMANLY sport.
