My European coworkers were asking if I think soccer will be more popular here now. I said, I don't think so. When I was a kid my siblings and I all played youth soccer. Even then, once you got to junior high and high school, football is what we all wanted to play. It was only the preppie kids who played soccer. None of my kids ever played soccer.
Only my one good friend was really into soccer. His mom was Swedish. (He wasn't preppie and 3 years older than me and would take me out drinking when I was like 14-15 years old ... first time I ever got drunk it was in Swedish glogg that his mom made). He's only person I really hung out with that played soccer beyond youth league.
I have only watched soccer when the World Cup was here. I'd rather watch hockey or baseball or football or college basketball. This are my favorite sports to watch. I have been watching the cubs games most every day. I don't like even when they have a day off, like they did yesterday.
