USA has always had a strong youth showing. The problem is, they just fail someplace between then and the big time. It's really quite sad.

It's just that we have 4 other more interesting sports to follow.

Soccer is a child's sport, football and basketball is where the money and fame is, so by the time kids are in high school that's what they play because that's what they see on tv. Besides, what kind of basketball or football league starts at age 4? Soccer has a large amount of young children that play it because it is readily available at that age.

Football is just readily availible full stop, that's why it spread around the world so fast from here when we were at the hieght of Empire. Most places still play UK invented/refined sport - yes, better than we do - but you guys got all pissy and chucked our tea in the river and our sports too.

And I think footballers earn enough money outside the US, and starting too inside too. Kids will start sticking with it from now on more and more. You'll all by diving, pulling and shirts, crying and cheating like the rest of the ladyboys who play this god awful plague of a game soon enough.

Aussie rules is a lot more hardcore than Rugby but both rape the shit out of pretty much all other contact sports and you're just a naive pussy to think otherwise.

Who the hell cares about soccer anyway...I mean...sure its a sport...but come on....really?

I only acknowledge rugby and rugby-esque sports especially when it involves Australia and New Zealand fuck those other pussy countries especially france

Even Baseball is more interesting than Soccer, and I'd rather dunk my scrotum in HCl than watch Baseball.

I think pretty much every single country outside the USA would disagree with you saying it's exclusively a child's sport. But yes, in the USA it's a piddly little kids sport. Everywhere else, it's the richest, or 2nd richest sport (to Formula 1) in the world.

You're right about it being readily available though. You can kick a ball around with a kid pretty much as soon as he/she's able to walk. You don't have to wear armour and have 195 players on each team. Football is relatively simple too. 2 teams, 2 goals, kick the ball in the other team's net. The basics are simple, the game flows easily. Rugby is prohibitive to small kids in this sense because it's incredibly technical. It doesn't have to be brutally physical at all ages, but the rules are far too complex for very young kids. Also the technique for passing the ball isn't the simplest.

I still just don't get American sports. When I watch American football I can't help but wish they'd just get on with it.. Stop start stop start stop start.. zzzzzzz fuckin let them go at each other ffs!!!!! If there weren't stoppages every 5-10s the game might be fun to watch, and would be fantastically physical.

I suppose Ice Hockey is more flowing and more entertaining in that sense. I just wish it was easier to see the puck! lol.. My eyes are shit, but seriously, how big a TV do you need?

Seriously though.. baseball.. wtf? I've tried.. I really have tried. I just felt like finding something more entertaining to do was easier than just sitting there watching it. It's the most incredibly dull, uneventful, miserable sport I have ever seen. Even the commentators seem to really struggle to get excited about it. I can't imagine how anyone could enjoy watching it.

I went on holiday to Cuba a while ago and there were some baseball teams staying in the hotel. They were obviously there for some tournament. I saw Brazilian and something else. And I couldn't help wondering why countries like Cuba and Brazil, whose cultures are so musical, creative and entertainment-oriented, could bear to play such a mind-numbingly fucking boring non-eventful sport which is completely bereft of any entertainment value whatsoever.

Even Olympic Curling is better than baseball.
