Ukranian soccer players offered Sex if they make it to World Cup Semis

 

$120 million not enough to lure Renaldo to USA for soccer

First Beckham, now Ronaldo. What is the obsession with playing in the US? It's an unwinnable market.

I'm pretty sure Ronaldo is making twice that much per year right now, although not that far into the future.

Soccer has grown five fold in the past 10 years or so. It's still just a blip on the sports radar for the United States, but interest is definitely on the upswing.

I really enjoy the World Cup, however besides that I can't watch soccer. However interest is on the upswing, but if you want soccer to really blow up here, we have to win the World Cup. If we ever win that thing, that's what will send interest through the roof.

Who wants to bet Ukraine goes 0-3 now? Stupid idea.

The quality of play is considerably lower in the MLS, which I think is a major part of the problem. Outside of a handful of guys, there just aren't that many players that can make some of the spectacular plays that you see more frequently on the top European teams.

 

However, my opinion is somewhat skewed. I've gone to several Chicago Fire games the last couple of years (not so hot a team recently), and all I ever see of most of the Euro teams is whatever ESPN decides to show us from the Champions' League. However, I did see a few exhibition games that involved teams like Real Madrid, AC Milan, and Chivas Guadalajara, and even out of season without a few of their better players and other stars only playing about half the game, they looked considerably better.

I don't see a lot of interest in woman's soccer even though they won the World Cup in 1999. I find soccer very boring, plus I am turned away by it b/c of my parents signing me up for it w/o giving me a choice and not allowing me to play baseball until I was in 6th grade and then refusing for many years to allow me to throw away my soccer trophies and then not letting me destroy them and being critical of my play

 

For that, I have always hated soccer. The only time I ever watch it is if it is on in spanish and I have nothing to do. Just to hear the broadcasters go "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!"
