I still call soccer football since is actually played with the foot .....the best club is the result of a very strong league. You can buy the best players in the world but if they are not challenged on the regular bases in a competitive league , what's the point ?
I doubt the sport will ever become popular here ...i case you attended a real game in Europe you will know why .....the term "die hard fan" strarts and ends in cities like Liverpool , Barcelona, etc. While american sports fans are preoccupied with stuffing
their faces with hot dogs and popcorn, over there it's all about knocking the opponents
cold.
With all that being said I do hope that we pass onto the second round...that will be a remarkable performance giving the circumstances.
