Why dont Americans like Football (soccer)?

[Sween]

This is one of the things that has allways perplexed me. Why has the sport never really taken when it has in every other corner of the world.

I mean i love my footie (thank the lord the season started today i was running out of convo with mates)but america do you not like it or do you simple not get it?

Ive seen some of your coverage of it and the comontators dont have a clue what they are on about they try to make out theres a plan it it all when in footie you kinda make it up as you go along. All your major sports are pretty high scoreing is that it? They all have very set plays and organisation and control are a big part.I played for my town and county at basketball i know its a techincally very complex sport.

Do you not like been the best none of your major sports do you have any real national level competetion (apart from maybe Hocky) you like to compete against each other as a a nation a lot dont you? It seems you also seem to compete more on a large area level theres 92 teams in the premership and nationwide leagues whilst theres only 20 or so in the NBA and that it for the country.

Any thoughs by americans and non americans would be nice.
