"Soccer" in America

[Corey]

Sadly the EURO game going into extra time probably meant most Americans missed this:

American (70% Italian, 30% Irish) but born in Africa.

Grew up all over the world and because of work still spend a good 7 months of the year somewhere out of the States.

Folks, soccer is insane out here! Mind you I still love my football, basketball and baseball but soccer is just beautiful.

I think the US is catching up very fast with the sport especially at high school and varsity levels. Give it a few years folks, I see it in the top 3.

My brother likes Chelsea, not sure why

Support your local. Come to a Revs game, it's fun, and it's your team, not some team 3000 miles across the ocean.

That said, I follow all the major European games and tournaments that are televised here in the U.S.A. The TV coverage of soccer in America has improved leaps and bounds in the last 5 to 10 years.

Typical Eurosnob.
