What would it take for you to start watching soccer?

Superstar
hopefully it comes with a hook up like the nfl game pass did
but if not i'll pay the money since it's one of my favorite leagues to watch.
here's our u-17 boys giving brazil that work brehs
got that new blood in the pipeline, dont worry there will be plenty of space on the bandwagon once we get up to #1 and everyone all of a sudden likes soccer, we aint those type of people, everyone's welcome
A sounders match feels phony
Have you ever been to one?
Cause the most dedicated fan base in american soccer who average 50,000 people per match is fake
Soccer is easily the fastest growing sport in america Television wise,
and the MLS is shytting on MLB in % of full games
League-wide, 87% full
By contrast, only 4 mlb teams averaged filling there stadiums more than 87%
MLS averages more people per match than the NBA and NHL despite playing in stadiums that mostly fit only 16-18000 fans

I know where the threadstarter is coming from. He gotta start watching quality teams with folks that know what they're talking about. I started watching back in college. My teammates (Nigerians/West Africans) got me watching soccer by turning on the World Cup and watching the Brazilian team and obviously the Super Eagles. Ronaldo, Rivaldo, JJ Okocha. Offensive teams got me watching. I remember that I HATED watching the Italy squads, but now when I see defensive (less aggressive offensive) teams I see the skill in it.
better than sitting home watching cars make left turns for 2 or 3 hours
I just don't ever see soccer ever being as popular as football, basketball and baseball in the US
it wont be..
excellent point... that's a top question when a real euro talks american sports
like... how can you like 5 teams?
in europe/the world you got your ONE soccer team, maybe the national team, and thats it.
I'd like to know of one poster posting in this forum that only has ONE team they follow. It will be exactly 0 people. People have their basketball, football team for starters. Then baseball if you're into that, or hockey if you're Canadian/from the north. And add college sports. So that's one person following 5 teams
this is true but at the same time how many of those teams are in the same state/city you they rep?
euros only have 1 team because all they follow is 1 sport.. unless them euro cacs be riding for cricket like that
as long as you not all over the place with the stannery you cool wit me
for me? men in spandex and pads and helmets running into each other for 3 hours ever Sunday in the fall risking life, limbs, and their brains for my enjoyment. MOAR SPANDEX!
a novel concept.
It can be like a league of Champions and the other best teams in each League. They could play matches when the Leagues dont play, maybe in the middle of the week. Have some type of tournament and determine the Champions of this new League at the end of each season. It could be like a Super Bowl! I think you stumbled into something gold!
We can call it... the League of Winners. Or the postseason of champions. Or football winners. Damn breh, idk. You got the ideas, you can find a name.
fukk the Champions League. Not the same thing I'm talking about but then again you already knew that.
You aren't getting the best of the best head to head when talent is spread over 100 teams. nikkas out here rooting for the Washington Generals led by Michael Redd. Bruh there is no reason for that shyt to exist!

Wrong. That's European influence, which is where the sport's apex leagues reside. MLS takes after Europe. Soccer is Europeanized in the same way basketball is Americanized. Soccer fans worship Europeans. When people complain about the European-ness, they are right. It's obvious.
Moreover the average soccer athlete is not as athletic as the average basketball or football athlete. You try to explain this to a soccer fan and they get hysterical.

Let's kill local demand for your entertainment.
We will start with the NCAA.
Thats actually a great comparison. There are so many Euro soccer teams many are on the level of college bball teams here in the States compared to the NBA squads.
Yet people continue to flock to those stadiums and arenas here and there. I wonder why.

And this topic is "what would it take for YOU to start watching soccer". Dont give a shyt about the bozos who line up to watch the worst of 120 pro teams.
