Ole, Ole Ole Ole!

But thats an inpedement to soccer's adoption, it wasn't picked up in America for a myriad of historical reasons and now the market is saturated with sports that most of the world considers equally boring.

And this pretty much sums it up. No sense in arguing about how Americans would love soccer as much as the Brazilians if we were just smarter or weren't pyschologically unstable. Our mentality gave us Football, Basketball, and Basball, three winners in my book. Maybe you are right. Maybe if you can figure out a way to polish the turd, it will sell, but it's pretty pointless trying to convince Americans it isn't a turd. If Soccer wants to compete for my entertainment dollar, it has to entertain. If the Premier League does it for you, more power to you. If I wanted my horizons expanded, I'll read a book.

I watch the World Cup because it's America against the World. It's a spectacle every four years. Luckily, the games are in the morning so they don't compete with the Lakers-Celtics. Maybe if the Americans won, the game itself would be more interesting to Americans.
