soccer/futbol will never catch on in a major way in america because americans cannot stand a game of "almosts" and "close calls" and "good attempts"
I understand. I can watch a soccer match if it is an international competition becasue I love international competitions , but I cannot watch british matches or mexican matches no matter how into it the crowd is.
It does not help that I am Puerto Rican and we do not play futbol/soccer. Puerto Rico is a land of baseball and basketball.
it seems to me that it is a sport that one must grow up in it's culture, grow up with it's rivalries, and it's superstars.
