@scottalanmiller i have been to London and was even at wembley stadium for a match. While yes it is quite a bit more popular there, here pro soccer is relatively new. It is still gathering strength in terms of viewers and popularity. But there are soccer camps, leagues, and so on going on all over the country so no this is not a trend. Like i have already stated just because you aren't seeing it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. I have provided multiple examples to disprove your posts and reasoning. Soccer is gaining strength in the US and will continue to do so.
Oh it's growing, no doubt. It's trendy now. But pro soccer is more than twenty years old now. New but not super new. Enough time to be pretty established. For a sport so globally important.

If you are interested in cricket in New York, I thoroughly recommend this book: http://www.amazon.com/Netherland-Vintage-Contemporaries-Joseph-ONeill/dp/0307388778. I'm not and still loved the book.

Are you being sarcastic? I was expecting that one

@scottalanmiller i expected them to lose but not in the fashion they did. 4 goals in 5 minutes is pretty amazing.

People in Facebook keep posting about the updates of World Cup....
I even read someone post " Sister sorry my team is better than yours" -
Fortunately once Italia was out, my whole family roots for the same team, Germany. So they are all very happy. I'm the only Italia supporter in my family.
