    Why do yanks hate soccer so much?

    Every other country in the world love it!

    Its the most wagered sport in the world!

    It has the most fans in the world!

    So why? Can yanks not concentrate that long without an ad break? Is it because it can end in a tie?

    Not dissing anyone just find it unreal it never took off in a big way.

    Imagine if it took off and the likes of Messi, Ronaldo etc... Came over to play in the states!

    It's absolutely boring and played by the rest of the world because that's pretty much all they can afford. Just wrap up some sheep's wool and kick it around on the dirt. It's the most primitive game out there. Might as well put a chess board at midfield and have two guys playing chess.

    Depends on the person,I don't think MLS would be doing so well without the fan Support,when I was in Germany for the WC there were a lot American supporters there.

    It's too complex for Americans. They need a sport where the guy who uses the most steroids win.

    Not a big deal but soccer has the most floppers in all of sports. They make LeBron look like an amateur.

    Life-long fan here.
    Limited scoring and only one point value for all scores.
    NBA and NFL have more than one way to score and different values for each.
    Good luck.

    First it's "you're"... second having a gymnasium and baskets are far more expensive than children running on dirt kicking rocks around.

    Americans use soccer for children to get them ready to play real sports.

    if the US were good at soccer, they would love it. Also, it US is about power, speed, athleticism, etc. different culture, different values.

    To understand the US indifference to soccer, all you have to do is examine the high school experience in America. Homecoming & cheerleaders is a socially a central part of just about every high school in the United States - and it revolves around football, 100% like the movies.

    So what happens is, athletes who've spent their grammar school years playing soccer switch to football by junior high where all the hubbub is. It's totally cultural.

    So football is perpetuated while soccer gets fizzes out. And this isn't going to change. More American kids have been playing youth soccer than baseball since the 1970s - and yet everybody stops (except the chicks ... and how is US ladies soccer, anyway?)

    Im American and I love it.
    Its hard for most others to understand.

    They dont understand the small things within the game. All they see is scoring (or lack thereof) and the "boringness". Because they just dont understand the game enough to appreciate it.
