I certainly agree with you there Carl, i strongly believe soccer remains on the outside looking in here in the u.s. due to the fact that here the majority of sports have a massive amount of points scored. Therefore, many consider it very boring and not entertaining enough. As far as i'm concerned this sport is 90 minutes of pure action, with a very brief halftime. They do not have the breaks, you get in the NBA, MLB, or NFL, lastly you get the best workout playing soccer 90 minutes of a consistent fast paced jog / sprint. There are many ignorant "Jim Rome's" here in the u.s. so to speak haha.
