meh.. the thing is, in the US, you don't get to see decent teams or even players. Never mind the really good ones.
and when you do get the chance to see them, like in the world cup, they already have 50+ games on their legs.
In the US I would not be a football fan either.
Anyway, it's an evolved sport. Every sport in the US is kind of ADHD oriented. Confetti and shit for the entire game...
