    Women's soccer bigger is US than men's?

    Is it just because they are fukkin winners? I think so. These broads are warriors. Good on them.

    I ref soccer at plenty of tournaments in Michigan. Every tournament is always booked full for all age groups U12 -> mens/ladies. The youth games the parents don't seem to know or understand the game that well but are all really nice and completely respectful. It's the current generation that is giving popularity to soccer in the US.

    There seems to be less flopping/faking injuries/whining to refs/crying in women's soccer than in the men's.

    all these non-americans chiming in on what americans think about soccer. listen, when football is banned in the states, that's when we'll start caring about soccer. until then, football is our religion. not soccer...

    jesus pal. you are not american. americans don't care about soccer. just because people fill up stadiums do not represent the rest of the population. "most" americans couldn't careless about soccer and couldn't even name two players from the men's soccer team.

    So if you're telling the truth but you're not American you're wrong. But if you're American like Deuce and you're telling the truth you're ignorant.

    Look at MLS numbers and the growth and tell me soccer is not growing huge in the us, the mls is up 8.6% from average attendance last season (MLS league-wide attendance this season after 213 games is 18,814, an 8.6 percent increase over the average of 17,295 after Week 22 in 2011)
    Look at the numbers when big teams from other countries come and play in the us.

    Just because sportscenter doesn't cover it doesn't mean it's not big.
    Seattle had 60k show up the other night. The Portland Timbers have sold out every single mls game this season and they are in last place in the mls. Show me an nba/nfl/mlb team that is in last place and has sold out every single league game.
