  1. Exactly!! Americans make fun of REAL Football….One time i invited some americans friends that played American football regularly, young and energetic…They couldn´t last more than 25 min playing, they have a really hard time to breathe. Who wants to play or watch a "sport" that last 11 min avg of actual playing time, switch entire teams, so you will be lucky if you can play at least 5 minutes. You spend half or more time in the bench. To watch 2 lines of obese guys grabbing each other bodies, just to see a guy thworing a ball to a guy in steriods that runs for 5 seconds to catch a ball? Basically only 3 or 4 player are able to play woth the ball. There are players that will never touch the ball in theri entire career… It´s ridiculous

  2. Soccer is a world sport so wouldn't be controlled by Americans. American sports are minority sports hardly played outside the U.S.A. American Football, Baseball are U.S. centric and formatted in a very t.v. advert friendly way.
    Like every facet of U.S. life they are run by and for big corporations.

  3. Because it’s a sport where you don’t have to be huge, you need to cooperate and you have no set plays, so you have to be constantly using your brain. I don’t think that combo appeals to Americans.

  4. Another thing is that Football (i will not call it Soccer) has a very long tradition in most countrys. Many clubs are 100+ years old and are a big part of a cities culture and you are practically born into a club. My grandfather was a Werder Bremen Fan, when i started playing myself her gave me a jersey from a famous player of them and i became a fan then. My sister, my cousin and both my niece are Werder fans too. We had our 125 years celebration last weekend and our Ultras gave rain ponchos to everyone in the stadium in green and white, depending on what block you were sitting/standing, so the whole Stadium was drenched in our team colors.

    What i don't like about Football are all the commercials, it feels more like a show and not like a sport and that a team changes the city is unthinkable with our traditions. A club is a club and not a franchise, which is one of the reasons we know have protest in all our stadiums, because our league made a backdoor deal to sell a third of the rights to an investor (and lets be real, everyone knows where that money will come from: Saudi Arabia, because they do something thats called "Sportswashing").

  5. As a european who watches and enjoys basketball. I couldnt sit down and watch a game start to finish, only highlights. Because youre not just watching basketball, youre spending half that time waiting to watch basketball.

  6. It will never become the most popular in the United States because they are not good at soccer and there is no legend that has it until Africa, eto Drogba Salah Koulbaly Mane, etc. Soccer unites an entire country and is the sport that shows the most magic. with a single ball.

  7. It's probably 2 things:
    American's like American things so they're more likely to buy into American football and Baseball etc over something that's popular elsewhere.
    The other is that American's seem to only care about moments rather than build up and managing situations. American football is essentially 1 movement for either a down or a touchdown, with sports like football it's potentially 30 moves back and forth at a time for 70 minutes before you get something that is considered a moment.

  8. Another theory I heard somewhere is that America likes a high scoring point system. They enjoy looking at big numbers. Soccer is hard to score in: 1-0, 1-1, 0-0, etc. That's why Americans don't watch it – it's boring.

  9. American football has an easier path to the pros in the US than soccer. If you’re good enough at football, you just have to rise up through HS and college to get scouted for the pros. Although the equipment expense is high, it’s all paid for by the HS/ college teams. Soccer is pay to play and extremely expensive in the US to play travel ball to get a shot at an academy. It’s not like that in other countries.
    And Americans don’t understand the game enough to appreciate it so they think it’s boring. Also, many of our best athletes who would be physically prime candidates for soccer are siphoned off into football, basketball, baseball, hockey. But it’s growing while these other sports aren’t.

  10. Always wondered why soccer isn't popular in the US but this "football" is. God bless soccer because it made our childhood fun, you could play with literally anything.

    Btw, soccer matches go for breaks too; halftime is 45 mins into the match.

  11. Excatly they like the entertainment the show the spectacle somehow the violence between slashing between each other. They don’t value the speeding ,dribbling ,juggling ,passing the ball …. in America they only compit to them selves with American Football ( slightly different than rugby ) .

  12. Bro as a winger in football (soccer) I'm basically running 200ft shuttle sprints for 90 mins non-stop, often with a ball at my feet, while shouting and communicating with teammates to plan and co-ordinate plays.
    It's easy to kick a ball, sure, but it's damn hard to play football.

  13. This is why I hate these kind of discussions because people are always going to say that their sport is better than the other person's sport here's the thing I'm American myself and I'll never like soccer gave it a chance but I grew up with football I don't give a damn what anyone says

  14. Well, it is not that simple. When TV needs advertisement on live events, they use inserts they change the display ratio of the event to a smaller view and work advertisement on the spaces around it. It cannot fit full screen commercials, but it does offer enough for advertisement without stopping the broadcast. Itworks this way all over the world.

    The major problem I find is that actually, the total time the matches requires may mess up the whole TV day broadcast schedule pushing other programs out of the daily schedule or changing their broadcast times from the usual thus messing advertisement schedules too, but the main thing with soccer games regarding broadcasting is that they have added time every match(on each half), so it is impossible to know exacly when it will end. It can take anything from 2 to 10mins on average in normal matches, to extra half-hour on play-off type of matches and even more when you add the extra minutes added on each new half-time(from the extra-time thing) Also there's the possibility of penalty shoot-outs in some matches extending even more the whole event.

    So the problem is not that they don't really allow time for advertisement, they do, and have alternatives to implement it, the problem for the US advertisement enviroment is that they are not adapted to the american way of advertising and also they mess up TV schedules too much.

    Sorry for the long comment. S.T.

  15. Football is football, stop calling it "suck her".
    Americans need to name their game more like Eggball or sth like that, becouse all countries around
    the world calls football, cuz you play it with foots.
