why isn't soccer so popular in america?

From basketball to golf, all discussion of sport goes on here.

I noticed that too. Cause when I went to Vietnam when I was younger my relatives loved soccer, so then I got hooked on it, and when I came home I looked for some soccer things to watch and there was none.

Each country has its own favorite sport...so that could be a reason.

i think he means that soccer is really called football and americans are just weird for calling it soccer and we call football football when you mainly use your hands

did that make sense? lol

I don't understand...but where killa lives soccer is called football. That makes sense cause in soccer you are using for foot so its called football. And I think he is saying that usa call a game football...football but you use your hands and not your feet to use the ball. I made myself confused

Soccer in Sweden is like the ONLY sport, except hockey...

Those are the sport we might have some chances in against other countries! :tounge2:
