Top 5 reasons why soccer will never be big in the U.S.

five reasons why football will never be big in the U.S.

I grew up playing football – two seasons, indoor & outdoor. I played in high school trying my college team – do not make the cut. I went to coach high school boys. For All my soccer experience, I discovered a deeper understanding of the game. but it took me years to learn to love the game, as I understand the Europeans. soccer, it turns out, is a slow game. To watch is slow too slow to learn.

For this reason Among other things did not get the U.S. as soccer and other sports. No doubt football game has been around for a long time, not much longer. Than American football. But still a niche sport, not a breakthrough into the mainstream as football and basketball there.

Due to the simplicity of football, the game is accessible to all people. You do not have to be rich to play and be good in football. Unlike skiing and golf, special equipment (expensive) are needed, requires only a shirt. In terms of equipment, football is the cheapest and most accessible of all team sports. It’s even easier, pickup football game than to play collection of basketball equipment.

Accessibility Game is a big part of his popularity in developing countries, where games are played almost more devices. Rugby, football and basketball are just some of the greatest games in the world, because people can play all over the world, despite the poverty, or lack of schools.

Let’s face it, never Polo gain a foothold in the Third World. If you are not a country club in the country, you do not have a country club sport.

With all that is, why does not football start?

Award winning American invention agility, and strength. Football is opposed to all these values. This is old, almost antique, and his gentle wisdom. The game is long, relatively slow, with very few points compared to American sports. There is no connection, but the camera is too far away to bumping and pushing for what it is. And, perhaps most importantly, we are not the best in the world of football. The United States is not among the three or four top states. We have never competed in the World Cup final.

1 & win situation.

Brazil, along with teams from Colombia and Argentina South America has a fame and victory in the southern hemisphere taken by football. Europe has set the world championship in Germany, Italy and France. and the continent has the world’s best system in the league -. a similar shirt with the relationship of the NBA basketball world

United States simply can not boast any superiority and control the football. with a huge zero World Championships, American football has more improving to do.

We expect the sport we’re good. We want to win.

2 points

Football Slow at least two respects. The game went 90 minutes long. football games often end up with a score of 1-0 and 2-1. It is not much scoring in one hour and a half.

compare these results on the final results of 100-98 football basketball 24-14 points, which last only 60-48 minutes each, and you can see the points checked over, football does not seem like a game. The goal of Every half hour, really? that game. all the more exciting goal is rare, but have the choice, Americans will choose to play “action.”

In addition, certificates and bonds often happen in football.

United States draw almost worse loss. You can not be drawn. Someone has to win.

I think I can speak for most Americans when I say, not to tie the game in any sport, ever. Play until someone wins.

third. Team Sports – where respect for individual

Soccer is a team sport than the most popular team sport in the United States. In football the quarterback is clearly the star of the group. Even if he is very good, is the focal point. The game comes from.

football, running the ball more smoothly in any direction, back and forth between players. Attacks made on purpose, sometimes slowly, between several players. It requires patience and skill football similar strategy, but the ball goes almost by accident, when compared to football. This highlights the strong liquidity, team dynamics, and here the possibility of individual dignity.

It is good if your team wins every time, or at least have a chance. When it comes to soccer in America, we do not have a chance to win the championship and we do not have a superstar. If we had one of those two, maybe football can go mainstream.

“If football is a tactical game like chess, football is like speed chess in the park can also be fascinating, but you, better spectator sport?”

4. TV compatibility

popular sports in America have built in breaks. Do not bother advertising football and basketball, are part of the game, some of the dynamics of our culture. To say

because we have a short attention span as human beings, not an exaggeration, but there is no conviction. It’s a fact.

football game has two halves, not a combination stop. Half an hour is only a pause. No time outs, where exhibitors show us the statistics. In football move, it is not uncommon for a score to disappear on the screen for a long time. The audience will clearly see from start to finish. Instant replay is done mainly by the comments, which, as we have said, are rare.

There is little room for highlights, albeit at a slower pace of share, play a wide open game, and 90 minutes of play. There is little room for camera close-ups. This means that the game will be real, must fill in all the transmission do their best to keep our interest.

compare it football, there are continuous data. The result is always on the screen the game clock. This is a constant stream of half of the data presented as to help us keep the details of the game with interest.

finally We do not embrace soccer like the rest of the world, that we should not. Virtues of football also appear in other American game. Liquidity of the game, by the way, the skill and grace all part of basketball.

soccer is like basketball, in many ways, except it is bigger, slower result. Basketball is like a condensed form of football. The field is smaller. The goal is smaller. Smaller team. And you can get your hands but not feet. Otherwise the games are very similar.

offense is built around similar strategies of movement distance, countermovement. Has a free kick in soccer and basketball free throws. Inbounds and the rules of the boundaries are basically the same way.

If we have a sport like football just faster, more suitable for television, with more scoring and more room for individual glory and statistics is why we should expect a slower version?
