[QUOTE="IlliniFaninHoosierLand, post: 1401487, member: 85743"] Soccer is still definitely a niche sport here in the states but it's popularity has grown and grown, especially in the last decade. While I can understand why people still don't like it (and I hate the people that say "no one watches soccer" though really people will say "no one watches (insert random sport here)" for a lot of less popular sports here in the states in spite of the fact the statement in and of itself is categorically false), if you can get emotionally invested into it, it really is a beautiful sport to watch. My recommendation if you want to get into it is to watch the English Premier League when it starts back up again next month. Most of the matches are played on weekends either in the morning or early afternoon which pretty much gives you the rest of the day to do whatever you want. [/QUOTE]
