Has Soccer Passed Hockey in Popularity in US?

[Thrilla]

Ok redneck

[BestPlay2day]

Played traveling soccer and high school and I don't remember anyone rolling around like pussies after getting fouled. Must be the thing to do in the pros. Soccer isn't nearly as popular as hockey, not even close. Now that the World Cup is over most will be ignoring soccer again for the next 4 years.

[Otters27]

It’s close

Never thought I’d watch soccer but I watch it now more than hockey

Same for me. Used to hate Soccer but now one of my favorite sports to bet

nobody believes for a second you have 50 cents dude

bang bang

Jeez this Minnesota game is brutal. Major eye sore with the gophers football endzone logo right in the box

Purely from a betting perspective: If you don't like soccer than you will miss some really good opportunities to make good money on picking games, when you understand your craft then there is some really good value because you have the biggest pool and markets to bet on from a variety of different leagues. I am happy that I grew up with soccer as a kid

It’s that easy eh?

Hockey still remains supreme, although the 12 million illegals that continue to pour in are beginning to tip the scales for sure!!!

[ttwarrior1]

nobody outside of a us hockey city cares about hockey, and soccer about as popular as bowling

Do most Americans really care much about Hockey,I watch the Sports Talk shows sometimes,and none of them ever bring it up.

[BestPlay2day]

I agree, it's their temporary stadium. Next year they will play in a brand new stadium Allianz Field in St Paul.

I will post regularly now in the soccer forum or at least try to do it for the next season for the entire leagues in Europe.
I have switched my focus to MLS and the Latin America leagues lately, like them a lot, some teams don't play the best football but from a betting point I really like what I see especially defensively. Some teams just can't defend, which is always good for totals on the over

I think if you have a hockey team in your State you will care a bit here in America.. Especially if that is a 4 seasons State with snow and cold.. Hockey is a cold sport, Canada is hockey crazed for a reason I think.. Kids that grow up in snow and learn how to skate early on in life naturally should have an interest in Hockey..America has many cold weather States.. Canada is frozen over in winter to...

That's my take.. Now if your hockey team wins the Stanley Cup like it did with Kings here in SUNNY warm Los Angeles, California interest takes hold then also.. It's all over the news...



My take in a nut shell with Hockey interest...

[KVB]

Careful 19th hole who you say that to, just one whiff of a soccer players breath will send you to the ground...

[Chi_archie]

some deep thoughts up there

[Thrilla]

Wow that's a big line for an over Otters.

I'll take the under 3.25 @ -118 and Minnesota HT pk/+0/DNB @ -120.

Thx Otters...oh and GL!

The greatest sports bettor in the history of mankind strikes again!

[BriGuy]

There are pockets where soccer is more popular than hockey but if we are talking about the entire U.S. then the answer is no.

This soccer players have no integrity - embarrassing tactics

[KVB]

This soccer players have no integrity - embarrassing tactics

No shame whatsoever...

[KVB]

We shouldn't blame the soccer players, they learn it from the coaches...

[thechaoz]

Indians? Indians like Cricket and Field Hockey.

Southamericans and Europeans followed by Asians and Africans better order here I think.

Yeah dot not feather.

Hockey is the real mans sport.

It's brutal, tough, highly skilled, and a brotherhood.

[MoneyLineDawg]

Love soccer (major European leagues and international play)...probably my second fav sport to follow besides NFL/NCAAF

NHL is cool too..especially live and playoffs

I hate how everyone is so defensive about the sports they like...Just follow and bet on whatever you want. All sports can be interesting if you have an open mind

I think NBA and Soccer will be top 2 sports in the US within like 30 years, hard to imagine but trends point that way ...football as we know it won’t even exist, probably some kind of passing only league, if tackle at all. Baseball has a problem with younger fans and hard to see NHL expanding much more

[ikid2groove415]

This pussys won’t last 40 seconds on the ice ? What kinda grown men does this kinda gay shit?

[KVB]

Hey ikid, what do you think of this move?

[KVB]

To be fair though, even hockey has it's moments...

[bhoor]

lol

Agreed. I like every sport as long as I can wagering on it. People should give appreciate for all sports are amazing to watch at the elite level

[Thrilla]

God damn it Otters!

Told you the total line was too high. What you bet? Points or real money? It's a half loss though.

[bigbubbafade]

Every professional sport has their share of dives. NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL. We all know it.

And the MLS does not compare to the NHL... no matter what ESPN tries to tell you.

[BriGuy]

Other sports will have players occasionally flop to try and draw a penalty/foul. But whether it works or not, they get right back up.

No sport even remotely approaches soccer when it comes to players completely writhing around on the ground for extended periods of time, pretending to be in complete agony, after barely being touched.

Video evidence shows - Soccer players are cowards - at all levels ? Even a superstar like Neymar pull this kinda stunt

English,German,American,Canadian Players do it right.

That's where you'll get the players that play with some guts

Get guys from places like Spain,and South America thats where you get the floppers.
