US soccer: Will Americans ever care about football? - BBC News

What makes you think Anyone even cares about what Americans think? And it’s Football, not soccer. Seriously, how stupid are you lot???!

Nah as Americans we care about real sports that are actually entertaining. Basketball, football, baseball in that order. These people can’t even get braces to fix their teeth, yet they want us to trust them about soccer. We’ve seen it, it’s boring. My step dad is from England born and raised. Loves soccer. Seen way too many soccer matches to be fooled into “the greatest sport on earth” when everyone knows it isn’t who isn’t gas lighting. These Europeans are stuck in the 1800s

ITS FOOTBALL goddamit!!

Americans will never embrace soccer, because we know better.

No American would never care about soccer. It just comes to culture. Does that mean is a bad thing? No it just mean different cultures that’s all

Thats great USA never win in the world cup 79 years, I'm really greatful USA lose the game cause effect by people lost interested in soccer game. MLS ? when I watch the game is like I watch kindergarden school tournament, American culture lose the game in soccer in world cup it means country of U.S don't understand the game.
American people : who is is Messi? people dont know who he is? that is better to know the answer.

I find that most sports that are popular everywhere else are not popular in America while sports that are popular in America are not popular everywhere else.

Who tf watch football 😂😂

Football is the most boring sport in the world

Football is 💩

I always remember American Women Football (Soccer) Team in early 20s... 🎉🎉🎉

If big sports media here in the US dumped as much money into soccer as they do american football, basketball, baseball, and hockey it would probably be the #2 sport in the country behind american football.
Also - American parents need to take a good hard look in the mirror - literally. If you are 5'9 and mom is 5'2 - your kid will never play for the University of Alabama. Give it up.
Buy them a soccer ball and take them out to the pitch. The next Leo Messi could be American.

Soccer in the states is something you do as a small child because it’s easy to play when you’re younger, as Americans get older they have more choices in other popular sports like: football, baseball, hockey basketball. In the States soccer is seen more as a “kids game”

You’re looking at it the wrong way. The question is: how long will the Americans still care for American Football. I mean they’re all dumber and dumber there every generation so even American Football will soon feel like a “nerdy” thing right?

Nice

No. We will never care about soccer. It's just not entertaining to watch.

I love soccer better than rugby . I used to see tha rugby as a hard game . Which makes lot of injuries as she tells in the documentry,

Jazzb say History U.C

It’s like marathon runners kicking a ball. They are serious athletes.

Address the issues of ties and low scoring games and Americans might take interest.

Cringy woman

It's because they aren't good in it at all. They have not Waist, so...The day they can dance, they will be able to play soccer.

Marianna cross

Theres no support for soccer in public schools imo. Many have teams but no one attends the games. Soccer teams don't get pep rallies like football or basketball...its just like..non existent

Soccer is a commie sport

I DONT CARE WHAT 300 MILLION PEOPLE SAY, compared to the billion of football lovers world wide

They will now whit MESSI !!!

I hope they never do! Keep them out of the beautiful game.

America cares about football ⚽ as much as the rest of the world cares about rugby 🏉.

Now bbc should make a video about " Whether the rest of the world cares about rugby ? ".

Honestly I didn't knew for many years that USA even had a football team for FIFA world cup.

dont really care for rugby, dont call it soccer its a crime tbh, football is the real name

The problem with soccer is that you're not allowed to use your hands. It's a very strange concept for a sport.

Also Americans,dont like things where they dont win and where they are not the best,and lets face it the competition 8n soccer is so great the US will never catch up,other countries live and breath soccer its like a way of life,and is the easiest sport to play no expensive equipment or places to play,i used to play it in a dirt road with stones as a goal and an empty plastic bottle when i was a kid and very poor in my country.

This just shows how much Americans like violence,all the most popular sports in Amrica are very violent.

As an American the only thing I mainly watch in the Super Bowl is the commercials I don’t care about the actual game plus the Super Bowl commercial are always trending on social media yearly 😂

Europe doesn't care about football but loves soccer
Latin America doesn't care about football, but loves soccer
africa don't care about football but love soccer
asia doesnt care about football but loves soccer
middle east doesn't care about football but loves soccer
oceania doesn't care about football but loves soccer
SOCCER is the most popular sport in the world

Nobody wants to watch a 0-0 game. It's a waste of time. In fact baseball alone is struggling because of slow pace and low scores.

5 years from this video and strides have been made for sure. 2026 around the corner, and it’s gonna be epic. Soccer already 3rd in fans and participation in the USA. it’s more popular than hockey and baseball on the ground now.

Football 🏈 is 1000x better than soccer and your lying to yourself if you think America is ever gonna care about soccer and also soccer is a pay to play sport it cost thousands of dollars to play it outside of school

Soccer is BORiNG.

Who evwr created american football i hope he burn in hell for eternity

I hope not… ever.

American people don't have soccer patriotism and spirit, no hooligan spirit

Yeah nah lol

The answer is no

The basis of all American sports: upper limbs are used to control a ball while the lower limbs are used for running & balancing. Examples are putting balls in a basket, batting balls (baseball, tennis, golf, ice hockey) or handegg, which u hilariously called Football. But when you're asked to play a sports that prohibits u to use your hands to control a ball, meaning u must use your lower limbs not just to run & balance, but to control the ball at the SAME time (any part of the anatomy except hands) u guys are understandably hopeless since u guys are hardly brought up & never seriously trained to use your lower limbs to control a ball. Its always hands, hands, hands.....So belittling the only truly global & unique sports is your best option.

Americans: oMg, sOcCeR pLaYeRs aRe wImPs! tHeY jUsT fLoP aRoUnD oN tHe gRoUnD.

Literally everyone else: SHUT THE F**K UP!

Bruh, y'all voluntarily run into each other at full speed and get brain damage. Have some damn dignity. Football players do sometime exaggerate their injuries to benefit their team but they don't have protection either.

American Football will ALWAYS be a sport stuck in the United States... The rest of the world will NEVER care... (Exept Canada)
