Just moderate interest.Chelsea is my club, so would that make my pick England?

It's the #1 sport overall worldwide but it will never be that in the U.S. I've played it in pick-up games & it does take great skill & it's a very physically demanding sport with so much stop & starting on a field a lot bigger than an American pigskin one. I just get bored watching it as the action/scoring is often far & in between. They also tried an indoor pro league which I don't believe lasted more than 5 yrs due to very poor ticket sales. To each his own but I'm not part of that fan base.
World cup? Not interested either...<br><br>Remember the commercials with Mark McGwire and Sosa and a few others with the catch-phrase "women love the long ball?" That goes along with all sports.<br><br>America wants to see scoring and lots of it. America wants to cheer more than once or twice a game. We want to see scores like 8-6 in baseball and 120-118 in basketball and 45-38 in football. <br><br>Soccer is a brutal endurance game but there just isn't enough scoring/excitement for America. Our adrenaline levels are much higher than the rest of the world.<br><br>No disrespect either...I too, am not a fan.<br><br><br>Go USA!<br>
