Because they suck and they only like American Football

It's the nature of the game, of all sports for that matter. Everyone thought the US would take the new World Baseball Classic, but they lost. The best teams never win every game. If they did, events like the World Cup wouldn't be as popular as they are now. Repeat winners gradually lose their luster.

there is no such thing as usa world cup soccer league. the world cup is an event between national teams every four years with a different host. a league is a country's group of city clubs (like nfl, nba, mlb, etc.) for the usa's league, MLS got to mlsnet.com    for the world cup go to fifaworldcup.com  for other national leagues search on yahoo or wikipedia

Boycott World Cup Sponsors, your missing the point. WE are the ones sick of that 'one win 40 years ago', and the number 1966. I hear it about 4 times a week on tv even when the world cup isn't on!! \nThats why Scotland is so fed up with you. Its YOU that are living in the past, really. Every single world cup since then its the same question in the media - Can we repeat that feat of 66??? And then all the hype for nothing. And if by some miracle it IS this year, we shall surely never hear the end of it. Thats why we dont want you to win. Its quite simple actually - its nothing personal, but we just dont want to hear about it for the next 40 years.

I believe that it is the nature of America.  We like movies with explosions and quick action.  We love sports that have a lot of scoring like basketball.  Soccer is boring to us, we don’t appreciate 0-0 ties.  Also, our athletes here tend to be better suited for stop and go sports.  Like sprinting rather than marathon running, football and baseball, where the action stops constantly and we can have commercials.  Having said that, I could see soccer becoming bigger, as young kids here are playing it more and more so we’ll see.  Plus the last world cup brought together a great deal of people in America b/c we actually won something for once.

I thonk the maine problem of soccer in USA that's the big company didn's support this games when we get all the magazin radio and TV talking about football, and we found big poster on the road, then the game will start be famos and known by peoples, but if we still waiting that peoples love by magic this games we will never arrive to be popular games.during 1994 world cup we get a chance make it popular but because the steps didn't continue by a big supprot later , the result is that most of peoples don't know about it

Our top players can play with the best in the world, the place the US is lacking is the depth that countries like England, Italy and the Netherlands posess. If the US can stay healthy we can go a long way in this World Cup.

Quite honestly, lack of success against upper-echelon international teams. The U.S. may be ranked #5 in the world according to FIFA, but that does not mean they are the fifth-best team. They need to prove, from a psychological standpoint, that they have the talent and the desire to compete against teams like Brazil, England, Argentina and Holland in top-level international football.\n\nThe lack of experience by American players in top-level international football hurts them the most. The U.S. is beginning to send more and more players into the Bundesliga, the Premiereship, Serie A, and other top-flight leagues, but there are still too many career MLSers on the squad.

Because the World Cup is a once-in-a-lifetime event to see.  They only have it once every four years and it probably won't be in your country but once in your lifetime.  The passion and intensity is something that is rarely seen in all of sports (except the Olympics) and to see the amount of pride that the players take in their respective nations is astounding.  If only us Americans appreciated soccer more instead of sports like the thuggish NBA or "put me to sleep" MLB that we watch.

Well, most Americans have no patience.  It takes very long for somebody to make a goal, so they give up on the waiting.  In basketball, baseball, and that horrible thing that they call "football" here, the players score more frequently, giving people more to cheer about.  In soccer, we're waiting FOREVER with suspense, and then the game ends 1-0!  Grar, I cant believe Italy won the world cup again!!!  Sry, for that bit of anger, I'm a Germany fan.  The US is so pathetic that I dont even bother rooting for them.

negative, never, the reason why  is that the us is the ONLY country in the world that calls football "soccer".

Well for starters, the US (as stated before) played HOME MATCHES against teams like Panama, Jamaica, the Bahamas, etc.  So its easy picken's for them.  Just look at their pathetic 1-0 win over Poland in germany (which i was at) and the terrible 1-1 draw AT Scotland.  They cannot play away a/g top Euro competition.  They get points from home games versus easy regional teams, thats it.  Its the FIFA system thats flawed.  They WILL NOT have a good world cup, i guarantee it, they should be ranked 15 at best.\n\nAnd by the way, the MLS doesnt "suck", its only 10 years old, give it some time.

People that think that 1 % of USA like football is on crack...\neven if it is 25% of the US that is still over 50 mill people...over half the small nations in the WC don't even have that many in their country.\nSoo since we have the number 1 economy in the world...\nA lot of people go to World Cups.\nI'm not rich but have had major surgeries.That is why friends are helping me go check out Ghana & USA.\nGO USA!!
