Why is soccer not as popular in America?

Answer 1

Soccer is very popular in Europe, primarily England (that's where the Barclay's premier league is) and Italy. Also, in South American countries like Brazil (country with most World Cup Victories) Argentina, and Mexico. However, soccer is starting to pick up in America, the Mls league (in America) has been publicized much more on television, and on paper. The best soccer takes place in England and Italy though.

Answer 2

Soccer is the worlds most popular sport. Everywhere soccer is popular and no where it is least popular.
However, Soccer is least popular in English-speaking former British colonies. These include the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South African (Caucasian population) and Ireland.


Soccer also has limited support amongst Pacific Island nations which were formerly British. These include Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Tonga and both Samoa and American Samoa.


To nominate the Country in which Soccer is least popular both Canada and New Zealand are perhaps the primary examples as neither of them have their own fully professional Domestic competitions. They do, however, have at least one fully professional club in neighbouring leagues. These are Toronto FC in the MLS (USA) and Wellington Phoenix FC in Australia's A-League.

Soccer is played in nearly every country on the planet. Most notably, England, Italy, Germany, Holland, Brazil, Mexico, Spain, Argentina, Scotland, and the United States have internationally-known soccer clubs.
