Underexposure. Eclipsed by at least three other sports. It’s difficult for Americans to watch games, they don’t know where or how, even if they are interested in the sport. There’s a lot of reasons, but I think this WC sparked the interest in quite a few Americans.

OBXMAR — How is watching cars driving around in circles action packed?

I've heard this question many times, but to tell you the truth, who really cares. The USA are just not that important. I don't hear people asking why it's not the most popular sport in India or China? If Americans don't like the game, so be it. The football world doesn't miss them and doesn't need them.

Yes OBXMAR you watch your exciting cars turn left for 500 miles, about as interesting as watching grass grow.

Its for one eason and one reason only : because we are not the best at it. Americans are obviously the most inteligent and atheltic people in the world, and its not that we cant stand SOCCER its just that were ranked 14th in the world, not 1. I play soccer in highschool and I only hope that changes one day. And it will because American Soccer is on the rise, eventually, sometime in the next 20 years, US soccer will be #1 guaranteed.

Soccer, i mean Football, is the best Team sport in the world. The skill it takes to play it. The beauty behind it. So much happens in just one match. the range of players and styles.

Damn... last time I answered this question so many people hated me. Sorry if I'm insulting you, Americans. I am NOT applying this to everyone. If you're going to waste time writing a million responses to me, I'm sorry this affected you so much.

I think the reason is because Americans are used to watching sports like American Football, Baseball, Hockey, etc. that does not require as much of an attention span.

Therefor, when they see Soccer it may be boring to them and they can't keep up because they are used to not have expand their attention span as much.

Because we have American Football, baseball, basketball, hockey,(at pro and college levels) NASCAR, etc. Soccer is boring to watch. 90 minutes with about 3 minutes of action.

Because my cousin, the soccer coach from Liverpool, England will not arrive there until today.

because americans didnt create the game and they cant fully understand it, and on top of that we have a whole bunch of other sports to play over here when some only have that one

Because we live in our little shell addicted to football and basketball >.<

Because Americans are close minded. I should know since I have to put up with their stupid asses every day.
