I think I'm agreeing, but can't remember all the old posts...
PK's are a screwed up way to decide World Cup games, but that isn't why its not popular here.
We don't get that far. To really enjoy soccer you have to enjoy the segments, beyond any chance to score. You have to enjoy a midfielder perhaps taking the ball backwards for a bit. To enjoy that you have to understand it, which takes playing or watching kids play for years.
The breaks in play would help, but hockey is no different there.
over time soccer will get more popular here because a huge % of kids are playing. It might get more popular than hockey for this reason, but in the end the ass on the couch needs the beer break. It won't be on level with the big 3.
