i guess it could be popular as people want to see the next generation of great players develop.

I have always wondered why football/soccer is not popualr in the US. The only conclusions I can come up with is that its because you can tie a game lol and there is only 2 halves rather than 4 quarters etc. In every other sport in the US you can only win or lose right? And a sport does not get anywhere in America without crazy amounts of sponsorhip....that can only come if the game is split into smaller parts.

I might do a little research on the ACTUAL reasons for it as these are just my guesses....I want to know why lol

because of the popularity of other homegrown sports in the US like american football or baseball. for example here in aus theres never any coverage of soccer, people just watch rugby and AFL. only the european and south american countries are into soccer pretty much.....asia is into soccer too, but their national teams cant compete for shit, cept maybe with the exception of S. Korea.
