ESPN has been trying to shove soccer down our throats for at least 5 years now and soccer still can't gain any traction in the US outside of Seattle(mostly because that city is filled with far left liberals who want to be more European like)
They continue to be all about soccer, soccer, soccer lead story on Sports Center and front page of ESPN.com but guess what ESPN no one cares. Sorry.
Reminds me of the time I was at the MGM Grand one morning on a College Football Saturday and a bunch of Europeans came in wearing their AON Manchester United jerseys wanting to watch Soccer. So the sportsbook writer picked a small ass TV to put soccer on for these hooligans while the rest of the screens had football
