@@majkokatic9991 American Football doesn't need to be popular in other countries. The NFL is the highest revenue generator among all professional sports so it doesn't need to be a worldwide sport.

@OrthodoxChristianity обожение The world are giving up to use Soccer dude. And football is called football because it's play with the feet with a ball, pal
@@derrickmeade4891 Dude. You don't know anything so shut the fuck up. Football came first, from ancient time. Years after football has association rules, some students in Oxford started calling it "soccer" which was derived from "Association". It might sound cool at the first glance. But not, because it sounds like "socker" or "sucker", and it's also not relevant to the sport played by foot to control, kick, run, tackle the ball. So it's defenitely football and should be called football. "Soccer" is just a slang term that quite a few people in the world are using it, except USA and Canada. Most people in the world will usually consider football to be the game using mostly foot (except the goalkeeper) to control, tackle, run, kick a ball rather than the game played mostly by hand to catch the "1 foot long ball"(although it's not even a foot long). In Australia and New Zealand, people are starting calling it football, maybe 50% of the population. Australian Soccer Federation was changed into Football Federation Australia in 2005. In Japan, people still call football futtoboru. I'm not from Europe but I still can get that. And I know some people in America also call it football. The real question is: Why are Americans so stupid? P/s: By the way most people in the world don't give a fuck about whether Americans care about football or not.
@@workspaceofduc dude just chill we got it you think soccer is godly and American football is the peasents but let us play are game and we let you play yours
We started with newspapers and elastic bands, old socks and clothes. We played with our everyday shoes and everywhere we could. We had to deal with a lot of angry people, neighbours and family.
MrHankey1994 Gaming People caring about soccer = People playing soccer = More people motivated to go pro = more pros in mls = evolution of better players and competition = development of national team = chance to compete with other countries in competitions such as the World Cup and Copa America.
Brother Ares You wrote this comment on a site created by Americans, probably on a phone, tablet or computer designed by and sold by American company....LMBAO!
Ten Biggest sports in the USA 1. American Football 2. American Football 3. American Football 4. American Football 5. American Football 6. American Football 7. American Football 8. American Football 9. American Football 10. Basketball
As an Indian I felt that cricket was the strangest sport as it is popular in 10-15 nations only. But American football is here to give my sport some sympathy.
Cricket seems very well know in Asia and Oceania. It's big enough. Here in South America if you show images of the game people will assume it's baseball.
I am also an indian. But i like to watch soccer rather than cricket. Cricket is like our national game, while soccer is most thrilling game. I do watch only important t20 matches in cricket, while i watch almost all soccer matches especially epl, champions league and laliga.
"American" Football´s name comes from the ball being foot-long, not because you kick it... Stop acting dumb and do research before commenting some stupid comment.
So when the US properly adapts to the metric system like most of the world, perhaps football (soccer) will grow there aswell? :D (hinting towards the feet measuring naming of the sport).
why don’t u just create a new world jeez guys, have some creativity, or are you limited to only putting two already existing words together.. life is not like a lego
When it first became a sport the kicking aspect was a much bigger part of the game. Over time it's been reduced to the current style but the name has stayed the same.
Didn't America goes crazy for the world cup a few years back? America did very well and all of a sudden the fans woke up and started going mental for British Football, but when they got knocked out, the fans mysteriously disappeared lol.
The USA never went crazy..... Seriously most ppl here never even knew that we got close to winning anything. Maybe the british media painted the picture like that but unfortunately most Americans wouldn't care even if we won. Maybe more Americans than usual attended games but there are also 300,000,000 Americans. Maybe 1% are interested in soccer and 3/4 are most likely forign expats.
@@hmmm1635 probably wouldn't, our athletes never usually consider soccer. In fact, most soccer leagues in the USA are for women and kids. Every kid plays little league soccer, but seldom do they pursue more soccer after 8yo.
You know Americans got the word Soccer from the English. By the way come to Portland Oregon, folks are completely mad about the sport and their team the Timbers.
Americans will never care about football as they are not obligated to care about football just because a majority of countries care so much about football. It's not just Americans, Canadians don't care about football either. They prefer hockey. Just like Indians prefer cricket, Australians and New Zealanders prefer rugby. So stop with the whole "Dumb Americans call football as soccer" and "Will Americans ever care about football?" thing and let people enjoy whichever sport they like!
THANK YOU. People are so petty. They fail to realize there are a lot of cultures and sports in this world and that people can choose what sports to enjoy.
EXACTLY What I'm saying. Everyone always seems to expect Americans to do everything like "everyone else" and I'm sick of it. They don't realize people have different cultures. Literally plenty of other countries call it soccer and care more about a different sport, yet it's only AMERICANS who get flamed for it.
I'm an American and would like to say that you shouldn't get your hopes up. Don't get me wrong, soccer is growing in the US, but her reason isn't why. We now get a lot of EPL games in the US, and that is growing it (I even occasionally watch it). What is not growing it is youth soccer. Soccer has always been a big youth sport in the US because of the nature of our 2 national sports are either too complicated (baseball) or too dangerous (football) for children to play when they are very young. I also would like to point out to the people making fun of the US for calling it soccer that the British came up with the name and brought it over here. By the time the UK settled on Football for the name of their sport, our football had already gained the number 3 spot in the US so we never changed it. Your indecisiveness led to the linguistic confusion. It ain't our fault.
The UK settled upon the name Association Football as the name of their game by 1857. The linguistic confusion over Rugby/Football has entirely been an American, not British, problem.
@@LordZontar You guys brought both sports here and introduced them as Rugby Football and Association Football, Rugby exploded in popularity here and dropped the Rugby from the title after the games evolution into the modern American Sport.
The only way the US is ever going to create quality players is to change its model. There is no Premier league in the US (where if a team is crap, they get relegated, like they do in Europe). It's nothing but closed leagues, and quality will not come from the likes of that model. Unbelievable but true - which is why a Country as tiny as Iceland is headed for Russian this summer while our men's national team is no where to be found.
There’s also need to be a better scouting system to discover local talents and funnel them into feeder teams to prepare them for MLS or European leagues. Also the “pay to play” system needs to be eliminated.
Northern Thai Garden Guy The relegation/promotion tiered system is completely foreign to the US as we have no sports that work that way. The countries that really embrace association football usually have at least one if not more. They have grown up with a system like this. Here in the US, try to get a city to pay the millions of dollars to open a franchise knowing that in a few years there is a real risk of it suddenly becoming a minor league team. It won't happen. But I don't think that is what generates quality players. Or at least not the main reason. Soccer's low popularity here and competing sports is one of the main problems. Creating phenoms is a numbers and culture game. We have the numbers, but the genetic freaks get wrapped up in American football instead of soccer. If not for that, we would probably already be producing top-flight players, but that requires a cultural shift.
Soccer has an uphill battle in the USA because it has to compete with several national sports that were already extremely popular and mature before soccer started to grow here. It continues to be seen here as a sport that kids play to learn sportsmanship and get some exercise, but then they grow out of it right around the time they hit high school and choose a "real" sport to play. By the way, it's wrong to assume that Americans largely reject soccer because they don't understand it, as if they would give up loving baseball, basketball, American football, and hockey if only they knew more about soccer. Maybe, just maybe Americans do understand soccer and yet still see it as a second-tier sport. Crazy, I know!
Why are we obligated to care about it? I'm sure soccer in Europe, Asia, South America is very profitable without us. We don't particularly care for soccer...so what? Let us like what we like. Our country doesn't have to follow everyone else's preferences.
Simple answer is because they aren't the best at it, America usually dominate the Olympic medals table but when you think of the best footballing nation they're nowhere near the conversation. The best players in the world don't go to play in the MLS, they're going to go to La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga or the Premier League because Europe has way more of a footballing culture.
Andy Benji we're not the best cause our best athletes don't give a shit about it, if they practiced it since birth like other countries athletes do we would be.
Lmao, you guy's are really stuck up your own ass. Have you thought about the other side of the medal? 90% or more of the people in Europe play soccer, at a high or low level. All the left over athletes go to the other sports. If the participation was more spread, US wouldn't even dominate their own sports. You can take a look at big global team sports, like cricket, rugby, soccer, handbal, volleybal, field hockey etc. The US isn't a factor there, because there is to much competition.
Andy Benji The best players anywhere in any sport play where the sport is the biggest. If you have a great American soccer player, he's most likely going to play in Europe, just like any great European hockey player is going to play in Canada or the US. The sport they play is always going to be weaker back home, for that reason, which is why soccer can't take off in the US.
Soccer in the states is something you do as a small child because it’s easy to play when you’re younger, as Americans get older they have more choices in other popular sports like: football, baseball, hockey basketball. In the States soccer is seen more as a “kids game”
I used to be a big gridiron football fan. But I've watched Tri-Nations and Super League, and I once got to view a live exhibition match between USA Rugby All-Stars and London Wasps, and except for the forward pass the American game doesn't really have enough to make it even equal to Rugby. The latter flows, the former has constant stoppages, and Big Hits AREN'T action. I watch a Rugby match and I'm fully engaged in the contest whereas I've often found my attention wandering through an NFL game that now drags on for nearly four hours. And lately I've gotten disenchanted

Did you know that the total game of NFL only lasts about 5-10 minutes worth of play without the stupid ads? It's not worth watching. Now 90+ minutes of running and passing and a goal here and there....yes! Give me that.
There are so many gifted, hardworking athletes in the US, they would have done great if they dedicated themselves to the world football. But they already have their own sports they enjoy. It’s not a problem.
JmanGaming why have Shiite academies when you make it 100x harder for a player to make it in the big time,you should look to promote the game for America by Americans with American talent,academies and trials made for Fitch white kids are the reason why soccer is taking in the u.s
JmanGaming We don’t have shitty academy’s its just that most academy’s only want money, they don’t care about the good players thats why US soccer players suck
We already do. It's just that USSF discriminates against those of us who do. US Soccer's entire goal is to keep us mediocre to protect NFL (which basically owns US Soccer). We have several million kids playing pickup soccer in SoCal who don't get scouted, because US Soccer only scouts rich white kids playing "elite" club soccer or college soccer which is really just an extremely physical soccer-like competition.
I hope that the BBC doesn't think that any country whose most popular sport _isn't_ soccer is "missing out", because it's the case not only in the United States. Japan and Taiwan are head over heels in baseball, Canada has ice hockey, South Asia has cricket, Oceania has rugby, etc. Please, BBC, SOCCER =/= MASTER SPORT.
@@mjatonyperry8508 Canada and the USA both call it Soccer and it's on the same level in both places. Some names and teams are somewhat relevant cultural but it's seen as a children's game to develop into playing "real sports"
We also don't have fans come on the field to punch the players. You know what that says? Nobody is afraid of SOCCER players. LMAO imagine someone trying to punch JJ Watt.
The reason why it doesn't succeed yet is because the best youth soccer players are usually rich kids. Maybe in the West Coast is easy to find soccer fields, but a lot harder in the East Coast.
well that' d be really weird, since football is a poor mans game, all you need is a ball basically, and so many great players come from poor backgrounds (like brasilian ghettos)
Exactly the best rich kids get on the best teams. Some kids get scouted but not everyone can get that opportunity. Football is a poor mans sport all over the word but in America their football is a poor mans sport.
It's a suprisingly simple answer, we are just not as interested in soccer as other sports. It's just a culture thing at the end of the day. Nothing wrong with that.
@@dppd3721 Maybe true. But our culture is just different and has no interest in being the best at soccer unless it's the Olympics or someone gets far in the world cup. Other than that, not too many people love Soccer/football here. American Football,Basketball, and Baseball are very ingrained in our culture. Hockey is very popular in the midwest too. Soccer leagues need to work on their marketing.
NFL is trying to push American Football onto the UK,. While Wembley Stadium's a sellout and the games get the primetime slot, it's not at all succeeding. Schoolchildren don't play it, the average Brit don't watch it, it's not promoted outside central London, and the spectators include American expats, the niche European fanbases, and people who just want an novelty experience. That's not a lot of people considering that there's only a few games a year in all of Europe. Out of all the team sports popular in USA, basketball has the most potential in the UK. The games focus mostly on the sport and played by by both sexes, so it's more interesting, and as it's an indoor sport, it's different to what there is in the UK.
you shouldn't include Canada on that red map. we preferred rugby football too. The first written rules for hockey were adapted from rugby football rules too.
DarthSchwartz Canada has CFL. I'm in California, but my classmates and I also recently started taking interest in it (also recently started NFL to be fair). I streamed the Tiger-Cats v Stampeders. Great stuff.
Maybe in Toronto soccer is dominant, but Canada does still prefer gridiron. In the prairies the CFL is maybe as popular as ever. Canadians watch/follow NFL too, maybe even more so than CFL. The Portugal/France Euro final averaged 2.4 million viewers in Canada. Grey Cup 2017 averaged 3.9 million, and the Super Bowl usually gets double that. Also TFC plays twice as many home games as CFL teams, so total attendance isnt really an apples to apples comparison. TFC's average attendance this season was 27 647. The Saskatchewan Roughriders, who were terrible the first half of the season, averaged 32 762.
@@lukestrachan3677I wouldn’t say that soccer is dominant in Toronto. It might be more popular than elsewhere, but that’s mainly because there are so many immigrants in Toronto. Soccer is not popular at all among Torontonians who are born in Canada, including among the children of immigrants.
The way we view soccer is the problem. When i was around eleven i played soccer for a while and i remember my dad telling me after practice one day "isn't it about time you started playing a real sport?" when i was growing up at least it was perceived as a sport for women so if you where a man playing soccer you got made fun of. i really hope that perception changes. it would be nice to compete internationally with a male and female soccer team, but i don't think it's gonna happen anytime soon there is just not enough interest.
If has someone has the determination skills that it takes to be a professional athlete and make a national team, I really doubt their dad saying that is going to stop them.
@vaggelis marinakis I don't know about that. i can only really give anecdotal. But as far as i can see, it's UFC, NHL, NFL. American's like contact sports or sports that give them a shot of Adrenalin like Bull Riding.
The beauty of football is that if you happen to be big or small you can still be world class whereas in basketball American football you can have all the talent in the world but if you’re not 6”3+ or built like a brick shithouse then your chance of playing top level are almost impossible. You could be the most talented player in your school system but then be overlooked purely because your teammates outgrow you.
The only way to make them care about football “soccer” is if they win the world cup or something, but that will never happen. Edit: I mean the men team
Well the US could win the World Cup EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS, it still wouldn't make it close to replacing American Football in the US. Most Americans could care less about it at all, probably don't even realize when it's happening.
In the US the following sports are ahead of soccer in popularity: Football, Baseball, Basketball, and ice hockey. It would take a lot for soccer to pass those four sports. College Football is also ahead of soccer as well, and is wildly popular.
I am a brazillian, love the sport and was happy with you guys trying to spread the word BUUUT not cool quote the study about the brain injury without context, the brains that were studied wasn't from a random group, they were already brains that they thought had injuries, shame
Gabriel ND I love football, go Ravens, but the game is horrible for the human brain. It is what it is. Football people need to figure out equipment and rule changes to make the game safer or American football won't last another generation. I'm not going to let my kids play and I played.
William Levy My earliest ancestor to what would become the United States immigrated to Maryland in 1650. Attacking the game is not attacking our identity it is caring for our fellow citizens at this point. Why are you so sensitive about the subject? You aren't even one of us.
listen... Nothing will ever take American footballs place in America. America doesn't care much about soccer and the world doesn't care about American Football and that's perfectly fine. Stop being offended that we're not interested in Soccer. You don't hear American's B!!! about why people around the world don't like Football. It's our thing, and we love it. To each his own!
Look, as an American, I just find soccer so incredibly dull and boring. It’s just a matter of how soccer is treated here. It’s something every kid plays for fun then drops to play more American sports
There are a few really football (/soccer) cities in the US: Portland, Seattle, the Kansas Cities, Atlanta, Minneapolis and Philadelphia. And Cincinnati. And it's growing.
I'm American, played soccer growing up, and yes I want soccer to gain as much popularity as possible in the US. That being said, American football will always be my favorite sport to watch, and soccer will always be my favorite sport to play. It's more fun to try and guess the strategies that go into American football, and there is a lot more scoring to get excited about with less games ending in a tie. The plays also have more flair (on average), and the opportunity for comebacks is more fun to watch. It's not that I don't enjoy watching soccer (because I watch Bayern whenever possible), I just enjoy American football more. It's just a personal preference, but I feel like this is how some other Americans see it too.
Brother as i am a huge soccer fan, I don't know any single player from NFL. I heard lebron james and micheal jordan in the news, but i think both are from NBA right? Could you please tell me how to learn nfl and nba games?. I would like to watch nfl and nba games in the future.
I cant comprehend why more scoring is better?? Alot of my American friends say the same thing. I believe less scoring is better because it makes a goal more meaningful.
@@badgerfishinski6857 we have fantasy sport apps. More scoring is more profitable. I gaurantee u if more goals were scored in soccer, it would be bigger in the US. Another problem is the flopping. Football is a sport where players are literally encouraged to play through injuries and “be a man.” Dudes play through torn rotators cuffs to finish games, its just a tough brutal gladiator sport and thats what the average american wants to see. Not saying soccer players dont play through injuries too, its just, the general takeaway from the flopping is that soccer is a soft sport. Americans like hardcore hard hitting big play gladiator sports to get hyped up on sunday after a long week at work
@@badgerfishinski6857 dead time. I'll speak for myself but a common opinion among Americans is that nobody wants to see a draw or a game end in a tie. Increased scoring is just more appealing to many of us
The USA held the world Cup on its own in 1994. Mexico held it alone in 1986 I believe. I don't see why USA, Canada and Mexico need to hold it at the same time via sharing the event.
69 Savage it’s partially down to the logistics of how a World Cup is run these days.

The amazing thing is that Soccer is played in every corner of the WORLD, other sports are just local and even thou, they play SOCCER TOO. You know what is weird, why they call it football, i it is played with the hands?????????
It's used a fair amount and it doesn't resemble a egg. A egg has a round bottom and a pointier tip but still round while this has 2 points and laces unlike a egg but the football is also dark brown eggs aren't dark brown they are white to dark brown and we kick the ball a fair amount maybe 30 times a game and there are only 150 plays so a fifth of the time and we use our arms when we run with the football not our hands
Honestly I don't get it. Europeans are always complaining about us not playing soccer more than American Football, but then they are quick to say that the MLS sucks whenever they DO meet an American soccer fan. Smh
As a football (soccer) loving Brit, I've never really understood how Americans have not fallen in love with soccer but despite some recent setbacks in the men's national team fortunes I believe that soccer's popularity in the States will continue it's steady rise and that by 2050 or so the USA will be a major player in both club and international soccer.
As an American, we view it as soft. My only experience with watching a full game was in perhaps 2014. I remember being bored by the fact that no one managed to score, being confused by what “offside” was (still have zero clue what it is), and near the end of the game being extremely upset at watching someone flop and wail like a baby after getting tapped on the shoulder. I am well aware that from those outside of the world these complaints are unreasonable, or ignorant but these are things a lot of us find fault with regardless. Our sports are most exciting when there’s high scoring, most of us know the rules of our sports while not really understanding rules for others (especially because the term offsides means something else in American football), and when we see someone wailing for a penalty we view them as sissies. We’ve seen our own players take MAJOR hits and still get up and have to walk it off. Sure flopping may happen in our sports but when it does we get upset at the player even if our team has nothing to do with it. For me that’s the biggest thing that I’ll never be able to get past
As an american it's funny when people think that soccer will ever be as popular as in other countries. We've known that Football causes head injuries but people don't care. Second Americans want a sport where there is constant action. Soccer dosn't have constant action. Plus all the commercial brakes give people time to get food and go to the bathroom
I have played both sports, I respect both sports. But lets be honest, those who say that football (soccer) is easy are likely Americans or have never played in Europe or South America (the fouls are often).
Cuz the sport is soft💀. Football has a 100% injury rate, this is why top players earn more than anyone else in the world. This is the closest sport we have to the gladiator fights of rome
@@purpleirklegrovestreet I have forgot I made this comment. Football can be painful, from the leg to head, but isn't like this. I have an experience with American football lol, and I tend to enjoy football more not because it being a "soft" sport or whatever you like to call it

Sadly American football is going down. I live in Atlanta and Soccer is taking over. Fast. We now have a soccer team. I even see people sporting the soccer Jerseys more than our American football team increasingly.
It is. The sport will do well here. Here in Detroit, we're trying to get an MLS team, but the committee dropped the ball by not trying to build a stadium for the team and instead wanted to use Ford Field, and MLS said no. Detroit has such ethnic diversity, I think a soccer club would do very well here. Especially if we can get a team and they win since we don't have an NFL team worth a crap. I'm not a soccer fan, but if MLS eventually awards us a club, I'd definitely attend games and get behind them.
@@nolansthompson8984 not totally true. An MLS team here in Detroit, I think would do well. You have a massive Arab population here that would most likely love it. A solid Latino population as well. Countless pockets of Eastern Europeans, and plenty of American fans. Think about this for a second. Our generation has never seen a new professional sports franchise in a major sports league, and no matter how you slice it, MLS is the 5th major sports league here. Honestly, it's a damn shame the Lions have any type of popularity. A garbage franchise from top to bottom and yet, people still help them sell out games. Even the God damn Arizona Cardinals and New York Jets have been to a Super Bowl. Meanwhile, we can't even win a division title. Also, with an MLS team, you aren't going to need some 40,000 to 70,000 seat venue. I'm willing to bet if we ever get a franchise, it'll do just fine.
@@nolansthompson8984 Lions are probably the worst franchise in all of American sports.

@OrthodoxChristianity обожение The world are giving up to use Soccer dude. And football is called football because it's play with the feet with a ball, pal
@@derrickmeade4891 Dude. You don't know anything so shut the fuck up. Football came first, from ancient time. Years after football has association rules, some students in Oxford started calling it "soccer" which was derived from "Association". It might sound cool at the first glance. But not, because it sounds like "socker" or "sucker", and it's also not relevant to the sport played by foot to control, kick, run, tackle the ball. So it's defenitely football and should be called football. "Soccer" is just a slang term that quite a few people in the world are using it, except USA and Canada. Most people in the world will usually consider football to be the game using mostly foot (except the goalkeeper) to control, tackle, run, kick a ball rather than the game played mostly by hand to catch the "1 foot long ball"(although it's not even a foot long). In Australia and New Zealand, people are starting calling it football, maybe 50% of the population. Australian Soccer Federation was changed into Football Federation Australia in 2005. In Japan, people still call football futtoboru.
I'm not from Europe but I still can get that. And I know some people in America also call it football. The real question is: Why are Americans so stupid?
P/s: By the way most people in the world don't give a fuck about whether Americans care about football or not.

Americans will never care about football as they are not obligated to care about football just because a majority of countries care so much about football. It's not just Americans, Canadians don't care about football either. They prefer hockey. Just like Indians prefer cricket, Australians and New Zealanders prefer rugby. So stop with the whole "Dumb Americans call football as soccer" and "Will Americans ever care about football?" thing and let people enjoy whichever sport they like!
That’s way too rational of an idea for people on the internet to go along with.
That's why they had the worsts teams
Dexter Morgan NO, YOU WILL PLAY THE REAL FOOTBALL AND YOU WILL LOVE IT!
THANK YOU. People are so petty. They fail to realize there are a lot of cultures and sports in this world and that people can choose what sports to enjoy.
EXACTLY What I'm saying. Everyone always seems to expect Americans to do everything like "everyone else" and I'm sick of it. They don't realize people have different cultures. Literally plenty of other countries call it soccer and care more about a different sport, yet it's only AMERICANS who get flamed for it.
I'm an American and would like to say that you shouldn't get your hopes up. Don't get me wrong, soccer is growing in the US, but her reason isn't why. We now get a lot of EPL games in the US, and that is growing it (I even occasionally watch it). What is not growing it is youth soccer. Soccer has always been a big youth sport in the US because of the nature of our 2 national sports are either too complicated (baseball) or too dangerous (football) for children to play when they are very young.
I also would like to point out to the people making fun of the US for calling it soccer that the British came up with the name and brought it over here. By the time the UK settled on Football for the name of their sport, our football had already gained the number 3 spot in the US so we never changed it. Your indecisiveness led to the linguistic confusion. It ain't our fault.
Patrick Stump shouldn't American football be called hand ball because the ball is normally in the hands of the players
ben smith google why we call it football
The UK settled upon the name Association Football as the name of their game by 1857. The linguistic confusion over Rugby/Football has entirely been an American, not British, problem.

The only way the US is ever going to create quality players is to change its model. There is no Premier league in the US (where if a team is crap, they get relegated, like they do in Europe). It's nothing but closed leagues, and quality will not come from the likes of that model. Unbelievable but true - which is why a Country as tiny as Iceland is headed for Russian this summer while our men's national team is no where to be found.
Northern Thai Garden Guy they already have a quality player in pulisic
There’s also need to be a better scouting system to discover local talents and funnel them into feeder teams to prepare them for MLS or European leagues. Also the “pay to play” system needs to be eliminated.
Northern Thai Garden Guy a
Northern Thai Garden Guy The relegation/promotion tiered system is completely foreign to the US as we have no sports that work that way. The countries that really embrace association football usually have at least one if not more. They have grown up with a system like this. Here in the US, try to get a city to pay the millions of dollars to open a franchise knowing that in a few years there is a real risk of it suddenly becoming a minor league team. It won't happen. But I don't think that is what generates quality players. Or at least not the main reason. Soccer's low popularity here and competing sports is one of the main problems. Creating phenoms is a numbers and culture game. We have the numbers, but the genetic freaks get wrapped up in American football instead of soccer. If not for that, we would probably already be producing top-flight players, but that requires a cultural shift.
Uhhh, Iceland doesn't even have a professional league so wtf does that have to do with relegation making them better???
Soccer has an uphill battle in the USA because it has to compete with several national sports that were already extremely popular and mature before soccer started to grow here. It continues to be seen here as a sport that kids play to learn sportsmanship and get some exercise, but then they grow out of it right around the time they hit high school and choose a "real" sport to play.
By the way, it's wrong to assume that Americans largely reject soccer because they don't understand it, as if they would give up loving baseball, basketball, American football, and hockey if only they knew more about soccer. Maybe, just maybe Americans do understand soccer and yet still see it as a second-tier sport. Crazy, I know!
Like golf, we Americans find Soccer BORING. Period.

Why are we obligated to care about it? I'm sure soccer in Europe, Asia, South America is very profitable without us. We don't particularly care for soccer...so what? Let us like what we like. Our country doesn't have to follow everyone else's preferences.
Simple answer is because they aren't the best at it, America usually dominate the Olympic medals table but when you think of the best footballing nation they're nowhere near the conversation. The best players in the world don't go to play in the MLS, they're going to go to La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga or the Premier League because Europe has way more of a footballing culture.
Andy Benji we're not the best cause our best athletes don't give a shit about it, if they practiced it since birth like other countries athletes do we would be.
Lmao, you guy's are really stuck up your own ass. Have you thought about the other side of the medal? 90% or more of the people in Europe play soccer, at a high or low level. All the left over athletes go to the other sports. If the participation was more spread, US wouldn't even dominate their own sports. You can take a look at big global team sports, like cricket, rugby, soccer, handbal, volleybal, field hockey etc. The US isn't a factor there, because there is to much competition.
Andy Benji
they went to MLS when they were about to retire... its just too much competition in Europe
Andy Benji The best players anywhere in any sport play where the sport is the biggest. If you have a great American soccer player, he's most likely going to play in Europe, just like any great European hockey player is going to play in Canada or the US. The sport they play is always going to be weaker back home, for that reason, which is why soccer can't take off in the US.
3:00 My new favourite sport right there...
I see what you did there
That sport has to be the most American thing I ever seen.
timmy D ahahah

I used to be a big gridiron football fan. But I've watched Tri-Nations and Super League, and I once got to view a live exhibition match between USA Rugby All-Stars and London Wasps, and except for the forward pass the American game doesn't really have enough to make it even equal to Rugby. The latter flows, the former has constant stoppages, and Big Hits AREN'T action. I watch a Rugby match and I'm fully engaged in the contest whereas I've often found my attention wandering through an NFL game that now drags on for nearly four hours. And lately I've gotten disenchanted

In Usa if football football was famous instead american football of it would be bigger than any european league
@@dppd3721 Maybe true. But our culture is just different and has no interest in being the best at soccer unless it's the Olympics or someone gets far in the world cup. Other than that, not too many people love Soccer/football here. American Football,Basketball, and Baseball are very ingrained in our culture. Hockey is very popular in the midwest too. Soccer leagues need to work on their marketing.
Ahora (2024), ha crecido el fútbol ⚽ en USA? Viene el mundial 2026, hay entusiasmo?
NFL is trying to push American Football onto the UK,. While Wembley Stadium's a sellout and the games get the primetime slot, it's not at all succeeding. Schoolchildren don't play it, the average Brit don't watch it, it's not promoted outside central London, and the spectators include American expats, the niche European fanbases, and people who just want an novelty experience. That's not a lot of people considering that there's only a few games a year in all of Europe. Out of all the team sports popular in USA, basketball has the most potential in the UK. The games focus mostly on the sport and played by by both sexes, so it's more interesting, and as it's an indoor sport, it's different to what there is in the UK.
Basketball is a fun sport, and is already pretty big in the uk, we can all agree all of our high school sports halls have a basketball net
you shouldn't include Canada on that red map. we preferred rugby football too. The first written rules for hockey were adapted from rugby football rules too.
DarthSchwartz Canada has CFL. I'm in California, but my classmates and I also recently started taking interest in it (also recently started NFL to be fair). I streamed the Tiger-Cats v Stampeders. Great stuff.
Maybe in Toronto soccer is dominant, but Canada does still prefer gridiron. In the prairies the CFL is maybe as popular as ever. Canadians watch/follow NFL too, maybe even more so than CFL. The Portugal/France Euro final averaged 2.4 million viewers in Canada. Grey Cup 2017 averaged 3.9 million, and the Super Bowl usually gets double that.
Also TFC plays twice as many home games as CFL teams, so total attendance isnt really an apples to apples comparison. TFC's average attendance this season was 27 647. The Saskatchewan Roughriders, who were terrible the first half of the season, averaged 32 762.
These soccer communists just make up fake statistics. They don't care about the truth.
@@lukestrachan3677I wouldn’t say that soccer is dominant in Toronto. It might be more popular than elsewhere, but that’s mainly because there are so many immigrants in Toronto. Soccer is not popular at all among Torontonians who are born in Canada, including among the children of immigrants.

I DONT CARE WHAT 300 MILLION PEOPLE SAY, compared to the billion of football lovers world wide
The way we view soccer is the problem. When i was around eleven i played soccer for a while and i remember my dad telling me after practice one day "isn't it about time you started playing a real sport?" when i was growing up at least it was perceived as a sport for women so if you where a man playing soccer you got made fun of.
i really hope that perception changes. it would be nice to compete internationally with a male and female soccer team, but i don't think it's gonna happen anytime soon there is just not enough interest.
If has someone has the determination skills that it takes to be a professional athlete and make a national team, I really doubt their dad saying that is going to stop them.
@vaggelis marinakis I don't know about that. i can only really give anecdotal. But as far as i can see, it's UFC, NHL, NFL. American's like contact sports or sports that give them a shot of Adrenalin like Bull Riding.
The beauty of football is that if you happen to be big or small you can still be world class whereas in basketball American football you can have all the talent in the world but if you’re not 6”3+ or built like a brick shithouse then your chance of playing top level are almost impossible. You could be the most talented player in your school system but then be overlooked purely because your teammates outgrow you.
The only way to make them care about football “soccer” is if they win the world cup or something, but that will never happen.
Edit: I mean the men team
Mal Mal or if they have a player that is globally famous. The most famous one now is Pulisic, but I haven’t seen him for a while

Well the US could win the World Cup EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS, it still wouldn't make it close to replacing American Football in the US. Most Americans could care less about it at all, probably don't even realize when it's happening.
The entire rest of the world don't care what America thinks about it.
In the US the following sports are ahead of soccer in popularity: Football, Baseball, Basketball, and ice hockey. It would take a lot for soccer to pass those four sports. College Football is also ahead of soccer as well, and is wildly popular.

I am a brazillian, love the sport and was happy with you guys trying to spread the word

I love football, go Ravens, but the game is horrible for the human brain. It is what it is. Football people need to figure out equipment and rule changes to make the game safer or American football won't last another generation. I'm not going to let my kids play and I played.
William Levy
My earliest ancestor to what would become the United States immigrated to Maryland in 1650. Attacking the game is not attacking our identity it is caring for our fellow citizens at this point. Why are you so sensitive about the subject? You aren't even one of us.
Gabriel ND Yeah, obviously you don't get diseases which come from getting kicked in the head too much from getting kicked in the head...idiot
listen... Nothing will ever take American footballs place in America. America doesn't care much about soccer and the world doesn't care about American Football and that's perfectly fine. Stop being offended that we're not interested in Soccer. You don't hear American's B!!! about why people around the world don't like Football. It's our thing, and we love it. To each his own!
Look, as an American, I just find soccer so incredibly dull and boring. It’s just a matter of how soccer is treated here. It’s something every kid plays for fun then drops to play more American sports
There are a few really football (/soccer) cities in the US:
Portland, Seattle, the Kansas Cities, Atlanta, Minneapolis and Philadelphia. And Cincinnati. And it's growing.
LA an much of California it’s self
All Democrat places with a bunch of illegals
Watch hockey and then you'll understand why Americans don't like soccer. Hockey has finesse like soccer but also the physicality of our football.
I'm American, played soccer growing up, and yes I want soccer to gain as much popularity as possible in the US. That being said, American football will always be my favorite sport to watch, and soccer will always be my favorite sport to play. It's more fun to try and guess the strategies that go into American football, and there is a lot more scoring to get excited about with less games ending in a tie. The plays also have more flair (on average), and the opportunity for comebacks is more fun to watch. It's not that I don't enjoy watching soccer (because I watch Bayern whenever possible), I just enjoy American football more. It's just a personal preference, but I feel like this is how some other Americans see it too.
Brother as i am a huge soccer fan, I don't know any single player from NFL. I heard lebron james and micheal jordan in the news, but i think both are from NBA right?
Could you please tell me how to learn nfl and nba games?.
I would like to watch nfl and nba games in the future.
I cant comprehend why more scoring is better?? Alot of my American friends say the same thing. I believe less scoring is better because it makes a goal more meaningful.
@@badgerfishinski6857 Like what? This isn't chess
@@badgerfishinski6857 we have fantasy sport apps. More scoring is more profitable. I gaurantee u if more goals were scored in soccer, it would be bigger in the US. Another problem is the flopping. Football is a sport where players are literally encouraged to play through injuries and “be a man.” Dudes play through torn rotators cuffs to finish games, its just a tough brutal gladiator sport and thats what the average american wants to see. Not saying soccer players dont play through injuries too, its just, the general takeaway from the flopping is that soccer is a soft sport. Americans like hardcore hard hitting big play gladiator sports to get hyped up on sunday after a long week at work
@@badgerfishinski6857 dead time. I'll speak for myself but a common opinion among Americans is that nobody wants to see a draw or a game end in a tie. Increased scoring is just more appealing to many of us
The real Football is the one you play using your feet and a ball.

I live in the UK, go watch my Tottenham every week. But American football is such a good sport. People are just ignorant to it
Well you get to host the world cup so this is gonna be tragic...
.....Alongside Canada, and more importantly Mexico, who is an (association) football nation.
@@theobuniel9643 what does that mean most importantly
The USA held the world Cup on its own in 1994. Mexico held it alone in 1986 I believe. I don't see why USA, Canada and Mexico need to hold it at the same time via sharing the event.
69 Savage it’s partially down to the logistics of how a World Cup is run these days. The 2026 World Cup is the planned World Cup for the introduction of 48 teams, it’s pretty much setting a precedent for future World Cups to have joint bids, 2030 already has a bid from Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina
@@keirlamont2806 Yeah and Euro 2020 is being hosted by at least 7 or 8 countries. I don't know what sort of circus International football is becoming especially with the ridiculous 2022 world Cup in Qatar 😡😠🤮
Popular Sports In America:
American Football
Baseball
Basketball
Honestly I didn't knew for many years that USA even had a football team for FIFA world cup.
No American would never care about soccer. It just comes to culture. Does that mean is a bad thing? No it just mean different cultures that’s all
The amazing thing is that Soccer is played in every corner of the WORLD, other sports are just local and even thou, they play SOCCER TOO. You know what is weird, why they call it football, i it is played with the hands?????????
Can’t believe the bbc would air something like this 🤦🏽♂️
Why
The BBC are a great waste of space . They are as thick as thieves. More so when it comes to football.
"Football is boring" mean while it's the most watched sport annually
Who said that?

In American football we don't have fake injurys unlike British football
Yeah u got real head injuries that makes u unable to think straight lol.
“British Football” yet its played in over 211 countries and territories
"Football" in America.
BARELY uses the foot.
Not even a ball.
Should be called "Handegg".
It's used a fair amount and it doesn't resemble a egg. A egg has a round bottom and a pointier tip but still round while this has 2 points and laces unlike a egg but the football is also dark brown eggs aren't dark brown they are white to dark brown and we kick the ball a fair amount maybe 30 times a game and there are only 150 plays so a fifth of the time and we use our arms when we run with the football not our hands
@@patrickhiggins5970 Facts.
Honestly I don't get it. Europeans are always complaining about us not playing soccer more than American Football, but then they are quick to say that the MLS sucks whenever they DO meet an American soccer fan. Smh
yeah thats stupid, but...there are enough americans doing the same thing the other way
I would not say that.
As a football (soccer) loving Brit, I've never really understood how Americans have not fallen in love with soccer but despite some recent setbacks in the men's national team fortunes I believe that soccer's popularity in the States will continue it's steady rise and that by 2050 or so the USA will be a major player in both club and international soccer.
It’s because we have other sports we love like football and basketball
@@mizzysavage1329 and cause there trash at it
As an American, we view it as soft. My only experience with watching a full game was in perhaps 2014. I remember being bored by the fact that no one managed to score, being confused by what “offside” was (still have zero clue what it is), and near the end of the game being extremely upset at watching someone flop and wail like a baby after getting tapped on the shoulder.
I am well aware that from those outside of the world these complaints are unreasonable, or ignorant but these are things a lot of us find fault with regardless. Our sports are most exciting when there’s high scoring, most of us know the rules of our sports while not really understanding rules for others (especially because the term offsides means something else in American football), and when we see someone wailing for a penalty we view them as sissies.
We’ve seen our own players take MAJOR hits and still get up and have to walk it off. Sure flopping may happen in our sports but when it does we get upset at the player even if our team has nothing to do with it. For me that’s the biggest thing that I’ll never be able to get past
Baseball is better. Hockey is better. UFC is better. Why watch soccer?
@@johnnyjackson4159 nobody cares about any of those sports outside the US. Football is better than every other sport.
As an american it's funny when people think that soccer will ever be as popular as in other countries. We've known that Football causes head injuries but people don't care. Second Americans want a sport where there is constant action. Soccer dosn't have constant action. Plus all the commercial brakes give people time to get food and go to the bathroom
All the commercial breaks in American sports is the reason why people outside the US will never take American sports seriously

I love football (soccer). It was simple, you never hurt your head or back at the end of the days
You never hurt yourself? You didnt play competetive

MLS is actually doing very financially well in the US and is growing yearly.
It is. The sport will do well here. Here in Detroit, we're trying to get an MLS team, but the committee dropped the ball by not trying to build a stadium for the team and instead wanted to use Ford Field, and MLS said no. Detroit has such ethnic diversity, I think a soccer club would do very well here. Especially if we can get a team and they win since we don't have an NFL team worth a crap. I'm not a soccer fan, but if MLS eventually awards us a club, I'd definitely attend games and get behind them.
@@PissedUAWElectrician I live in Detroit too and I think MLS would struggle here. The lions and tigers are just too popular.
@@nolansthompson8984 not totally true. An MLS team here in Detroit, I think would do well. You have a massive Arab population here that would most likely love it. A solid Latino population as well. Countless pockets of Eastern Europeans, and plenty of American fans. Think about this for a second. Our generation has never seen a new professional sports franchise in a major sports league, and no matter how you slice it, MLS is the 5th major sports league here. Honestly, it's a damn shame the Lions have any type of popularity. A garbage franchise from top to bottom and yet, people still help them sell out games. Even the God damn Arizona Cardinals and New York Jets have been to a Super Bowl. Meanwhile, we can't even win a division title.
Also, with an MLS team, you aren't going to need some 40,000 to 70,000 seat venue. I'm willing to bet if we ever get a franchise, it'll do just fine.
@@nolansthompson8984 Lions are probably the worst franchise in all of American sports. If a winning MLS team was in Detroit they would definitely get attention because no offense Detroit is a horrible sports city. Just look at Atlanta and how many fans they generated after Atlanta United won the MLS cup.
For me soccer is boring af, it's basically passing a ball for 90 minutes...... literally 99% of the game is just passing the damn ball
And shooting the ball. And shaking other players. And Dribbling the ball. I can go on and on.

She say "you are not allowed to call it soccer" and then whole video keeps calling Football soccer......
