lol, i think the mexican team will be always better than the USA. Football is a game where you need history. For the moment, mexico is really better than USA.\nFreddie Adu is good but the whole mexican national team is better. Come on with the latin way of playing football!!

Everybody has listed the favorites. The best team to have an outside shot would be Mexico at 35-1. Chivas(Mexico) beat Sao Paolo(Brazil) this past month and six of their players are on the national team.

1.- Mexico\n2.- National pastime, just like baseball is here.\n3.-None, soccer is the most played sport in the world.\n4.-Soccer in America has a back seat to other sports, so it doesn't have any effect, the common denominator here is that it unites people from very different ethnic backgrounds to play. In Mexico, soccer is followed by a very passionate group of people, one can easily skip school, work, you name it, just to watch a soccer game.\n5.- They identify with each other. They are strangers with the same interest, communication is easier as well.\n6.- No, it doesn't matter.

They sing that here in the US because that's the only soccer 'chant' that people know... but there's a huge variety of them abroad, where soccer has more of a following... with perhaps Liverpool's 'You'll Never Walk Alone' the most famous. Either way, it's fun.

The "audience wave" (also called a Mexican wave, or simply "the wave") is a phenomenon that commonly occurs in the audiences of sporting events, and sometimes in other large crowds. A wave is a coordinated sequence of actions taken by the audience members in which a group of spectators lying along a radial line extending outward from the sport field all stand up and raise their arms, then return to a normal seated posture again as the neighboring group of spectators takes their turn to stand up.\nThe wave was apparently introduced into the soccer community at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, from which the name "Mexican wave" derives.

Definitely Mexico is capable of beating any of the elite teams, mexico has always been the "almost" team because of scenic panic at the right and decisive monent and not because of lack of talent, with concentration and right attitude, yes they can ,they have done several times before and recently.

Actually, soccer was much more popular in the early 20th century than it is now. But I think your question should be "why isn't professional soccer more popular in the US?".\n\nHere is a quote from Soccer Times about recent US soccer participation:\n\n"According to the Sporting Goods Manufacturers of America International 2003 Superstudy of Sports Participation, 17.641 million Americans played soccer at least once in 2002, a 7.4 percent decrease from the 19.042 million in 2001. Still, the number of players in 2002 represented a 14.6 percent increase from the 1987 benchmark of 15.388 million."\n\nThe article goes on to further claim that soccer only trails basketball in overall popularity for team sport participation.\n\nI've heard many reasons why people don't follow pro soccer: lack of scoring, diversity of professional sports offerings and lack of television programming.
