Soccer in America

Many can debate, that this sport is not an American sport. Many can say that this sport is for pansies, or wusses, and that American football is the pinnacle of a mans sport. But, how little these many know. How they forget that this is the World's game.

Now those same many fear one thing, that this game taking over in the United States. Yes. Soccer is becoming overwhelmingly popular day-by-day in this country. ESPN is picking up more soccer games, Fox has started to broadcast marquis games in European Leagues. Still we have those that will never give it a chance.

To you I have one thing to say: YOU ARE STUPID! This game is beautiful. This is a great sport. We have the MLS in America, and that is a flourishing league, but it is still light years behind the elite talent and amazing action that is seen in European Soccer. Soccer takes toughness, soccer has parody, and most of all soccer has excitement.

If you watched, you would understand that there is a far bigger rivalry out their than Yankees vs Red Sox. You would know that if you watch 10 minutes of action in El Clasico, that pits FC Barcelona against their bitterly HATED rivals Real Madrid. You would understand how great this game can be if you saw the absolutely ridiculous transfers that are made for players. If you watched you would see how a virtual unknown can come from obscurity to football greatness. If you watched, you would not have missed this:

Soccer in the United States is coming, fast and strong. Dont be a oblivious to it. Jump on the bandwagon. The US Mens National Team is competing at a very high level, and are earning more and more respect world wide. They just came off their best World Cup since 1930 winning their group, which had soccer super power England in it. If you saw the final game in the group stage (vs Algeria) you would have seen the American Dream and one of the most historic and amazing moments in AMERICAN history in a course of a couple of seconds. It bought me to tears.

The team is very young. They have talent that can play with anyone in the world, and they do. See Tim Howard, Landon Donovan, and English Premier League Player of the Year Finalist Clint Dempsey.

Just as those in other countries follow our sports so closely, we must follow theirs'. For that is where the true beauty of these sports lie. Watch Manchester United in England to see what real tradition is, watch Cristiano Ronaldo score more goals than anybody in history. And for you ladies just watch Cristiano Ronaldo, Trust Me! That is all that I can say.

Soccer needs no more persuading other than just having potential doubters watch it being played on its highest level, in Europe. You will understand what all of the fuss is about. And get behind our men's national team. Parents, put your children in soccer, their is a huge youth movement going on to support soccer in America. Your child might not be the next Lebron James or Derrick Rose, but in soccer there is room for a 5'6" kid with fast feet, a great mind, and a dream, just ask one of the worlds' best players, Lionel Messi; 3-Time Defending World Player of the Year.

Take my advice, pay attention to this game, watch this game, play this game. It is coming, and it is coming fast here in the states. You will want to be there when it does. You can call this my biased opinion, but remember I know more about this than you, so just trust me.
