Soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world. However, it will never be as popular in the U.S. as big spectacular sports for some reasons. The biggest reason is that it doesn't conform easily to the demands of television. Basketball, for example, succeeds enormously in America because it has regular time-outs, which are ideal for Tv commercials. However, soccer, with the exception of its half-time break, has no time outs. The next reason that soccer is not so popular is that Americans love their violence, and soccer doesn't provide it in the way that American football and hockey do. The last reason for soccer's lack of popularity is that it is just too difficult to score in soccer. America love its football games, with scores like 49 to 35, and a professional basketball game with scores below 100 is regarded as a defensive bare. In soccer, on the other hand, scores like 2 to 1, or even 1 to 0, are common place and apparently desirable. The reasons that why Americans don't love soccer seem reasonably.

Thank you for understanding why we Americans don't like soccer. It is actually a very popular sport for kids to place, especially among the wealthier kids in the town. But our professional team only draws 15000 fans per game while our college football team draws 100,000
