Its pretty ing stupid, but what's worse is that "its cool now" and all these head kids are playing it
Get this, a team in this povertyball tournament the whole world is apparently following has reached the semi-finals by only winning 1 game outright. Their other 4 games were ties.
"Greatest sport in the world."
"The beautiful game."

They'll get bored of it. I lived through the "Pele is gonna make soccer huge in the States" era, and it seemed every kid was signing up for AYSO en masse.
I agree the influx of Mexicans will make it slightly more popular, but it won't be overtaking the NHL anytime soon.
It's a little boring to watch, at times, but very fun to play, tbh..
Portugal is the team the OP failed to list.
The 9-7 Giants won the SB twice as a wildcard team.
They actually had to win all their playoff games to be champions - not just tie them. They were 10-6 in 2007, BTW.The 9-7 Giants won the SB twice as a wildcard team.
It's an amazing sport.American sports where players are so dumb (football) and fat (baseball) they have to be told what to do every play/second (football, baseball & basketball).
Soccer is the beautiful game because it's free flowing and a bunch of in-shape athletic guys *gasp* get to display skill and make their own decisions without Rex Ryan yelling at them to run in a pre-determined line because they're idiots
Football and baseball require a brain to play, which eliminates most of the Eurotrash. Third-world kickball isn't even a sport, it's a glorified schoolyard game. No different than professional hopscotch or professional WiffleballIt's an amazing sport.

Dumbass, ONLY the knockout stages are the equivalent of a playoff & there is no such thing as a tie in a knockout stage which was why they had the penalty shootout. The group stages are the equivalent of an NFL regular season where a team w/ a mediocre record could make it to the playoff if they play in a weak division.
Last I checked there are ties in the REGULAR season even in the NFL & teams depend on kickers to win games.
Dumbass, the NFL playoffs are a tournament that crowns a champion - just like the Europoors and the Third-World Cup.
Last I checked, the regular season isn't the playoffs.Last I checked there are ties in the REGULAR season even in the NFL.

That guy could be the HR champ, perennial all star, and multimillionaire in American Cricket
That guy could start on any international kickball team. He's way better than that midget who can't even make a penalty kick that everyone says is the GOAT.
Having a MIDGET as the face of your "sport" trumps it.
Portugal hasn't won a single game actually, at least based on a quick glance at Wikipedia. Even in the playoff/knockout stage, they won on penalty kicks after a draw. That's like tying half of your NBA games then winning in the playoffs on a 3-point shootout after 2-3 OT's.
Dumbass, there are no group stages in the NFL b/c there is such a thing as a "Regular Season" which isn't a tournament.
Last I checked the team that beat the 16-0 Patriots wouldn't have been in the playoffs if it wasn't for a gimmicky wildcard spot.Last I checked, the regular season isn't the playoffs.

The 2001 SB champs won 2 of their 3 playoff games w/ a FG.
It's like making the playoffs after 16 draws and more wins than your division opponents then winning your playoff game after an OT tie on field goal kicks. That's the comparison.It's actually the equivalent of winning a football game on a field-goal.
Having to earthquake-proof your stadium in Texas because the guy who participates in 4 plays in a 4 hour game trips over a pillow sitting on the dirt or can't climb an 18" gate trumps that.
As if the NFL's regular season is a 3 game round robin.
