Soccer has never been popular in USA. A decade ago, during the World Cup of South Africa, people started saying the sport was getting more popularized there and that the national team would become a great potency on the following years, but it just didn't happen. Americans haven't developed considerable interest for soccer yet, and it seems there isn't a tendency showing they will. They are a people who like preserving their traditional habits or developing their own methods. They export culture and a way of life, but don't import it very much.

At same time it's good news for foreigners who will have more tickets to buy for the games, more opportunities to watch the matches, since the local public isn't very interested on it...
