A game similar to soccer was first played in Boston, Massachusetts in 1862 - this team was the first to play a sport unofficially recognized, retroactively speaking, as soccer. The game itself could not have been soccer as this predates the formulation of official soccer rules in 1872.
The first attempt to form a governing body in American soccer happened in 1884, the same year as the foundation of the American Cup, which remained, for several decades, the highest-level tournament in the sport in the United States.

No... in Canada and Australia as well.
Soccer is probably not as well attended in the US then other countries because it was introduced later. US's first popular sports were football, basketball, and baseball. Therefore, people in the US liked these sports more. As soccer was introduced to the US, more and more people began liking it. Eventually I can see soccer becoming as popular as basketball and football but i predict that it will take a couple years.
Soccer was introduced in the Olympic Games in 1990.
