VTI, how the hell did you get so much rep? :surprise:
I **** all of you.
You brought this on yourself so deal with the consequences:1orglaugh
On another note Bob Bradley will be returning as national team coach. I'm glad he's coming back, I think he's the right coach for the team right now.
They retained BB? That's good. I like him. He's a mellow dude and I was impressed with the team's effort in the WC.
AAAHARHARHARHARHARHARHAR.......:thefinger
You can go to ***** now. I know that you must have hurt yourself coming up with that monumentalcomeback.

Cause I'm funnier than hell! No, mostly from posting zip and rar files in the Penny Mathis and Veronika Zemanova threads.

I do have a little cramp in my fingernail.
Too few commercials is a reason to like it. The game is over in two hours because the clock doesn't stop and there are no TV breaks except for halftime.
Agreed. But it's advertisers that **** it. If you were an advertiser or TV station would you want to air a soccer game with 30 minutes of commercials or a football game with a hour and a half of commercials? The US media does not want soccer to become popular.
There are a few reasons that I personally don't think I could ever like it (at least from a TV broadcast standpoint):
1.) Not enough scoring usually. A game that can end in a tie after 90 minutes of play can be a bit frustrating.
2.) The perspective can get boring to watch. Overhead view makes it a bit harder to distinguish certain players for someone who isn't a dedicated fan.
3.) The acting. Too many players pretending to be hurt or fouled by another player to get a cheap penalty on them.
I can watch some games around the world cup, but other than that I pretty much forget about it.

It's very popular in the Portland area. The Timbers will join MLS next season.

This is like asking "Why isn't the WNBA popular?"
