    Re: North American hockey fans interest in soccer?

    I remember vividly watching the 1992 world cup and getting hooked. Ivenever been able to get excited for club soccer unless it involves a great American player like Reyna, Dempsey or Donovan. I love world cup, gold cup and any USA national game. MLS has never interested me, probably because I don't have a team and the quality isn't there.

      1994? (the one in the US)
      If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

          Incidentally, they need to make it hard (or impossible) for a thread originator to take down a well-populated thread.

            It would be easier if people just weren't whiny little *****es like Priceless was/is.

                MLS third in attendance behind football and baseball. Maybe 3 years ago I got into a nasty exchange on one of these threads with a guy saying soccer would NEVER become a major sport in the US...the demographic changes alone make that an idiotic statement...not to mention millions of people growing up playing the sport and becoming adults...I couldn't have named 1 kid played soccer in my grade school and in HS it was only football cuts that populated the team.

                Now we've got millions of kids playing every weekend...they wont all grow up to be fans but they won't hate the sport and they will be willing to watch just like not all football and baseball fans were big athletes.
                I believe in life, and I believe in love, but the world in which I live in keeps trying to prove me wrong.

                    It'd also help if people just weren't *******s, but they are, and they are.
