Nope, nope and nope. Soccer will never make it bigtime in Canada or the USA. Too many other sports that are superior.

The NBA was great in from 1979 to 1988. Hockey always sucked. They play 80 games to eliminate one team out of 32!

Try watching a one run playoff game in the late innings and tell me baseball is boring.

No. Too much association with the soccer mom thing. It's though of as more a kids game in the us than a legit sport, like almost everywhere else.

You'd be very wrong. Try to avoid blind assumptions.

Golf is 10x more exciting than baseball, which makes it about 100x more exciting than Eurotrash soccer.

GOLF, for crying out loud!

Hahaha you Americans just don't fucking get it. Football (you call it soccer) is just beyond your comprehension.

Your sports have been designed and modified so that people with sub 100 IQ's can enjoy them.

Football is the greatest sport in the world. NOTHING compares.

Rugby > NFL too.

Just watch the flow in an international rugby game, outclasses NFL immensely.

Right, most of us here cannot comprehend why those of you in the Third World can get so excited about something that's so boring.

You need more excitement in your lives.

And personally, I'd be more than happy to go watch 'Americanized' soccer (larger goals, more subs), meaning that the international game would benefit as well.

Get off your high horse American. The most civilised group of countries on Earth, with thousands of years of history, inventions, art, music and genius's is hardly third world. Let's not forget we created you.

The points made about there not being enough goals in football just says it all, and fulfils another American cliche.

Nothing compares to Italy beating Germany in the last minutes of a game with 2 great goals.

Nothing compares to sitting on the edge of your seat during an entertaining world cup final. NOTHING.

Galileo Galilei

Invented everything you'll ever need too... so yes...

Europe is the most civilised group of countries on Earth.

English football has no rivals.

Like with any sport, you have to get "into it" before you can start to appreciate it.

The fact that the biggest championship in your world can be decided by penalty kicks is what makes it so laughable. That would be akin to the NCAA basketball championship being decided by a free throw shooting contest or the World Series being decided by a home run derby.

If you played sudden death overtime until a winner was decided, Americans would have a lot more respect for your sacred little game.

Please.. In the last 100 years the United States has been the defacto super power that shits all over your continent. Europe is America's lapdog.

Shit, I totally forgot about Europe inventing God!

Penalties are a great. Deal with it. Football is infallible.

Ok buddy, so what exactly have US nationals invented recently that's so great?

The computer? NOPE!
The jet engine? NOPE!
French fries? NOPE!
Rocket? NOPE!

You have the plane and a bunch of shitty sports whom's sole influence was European based

Football is God.
