I think you're selling Americans short. We've seen enough soccer to understand the nuances of the game. Many of us just don't care to watch a sport where nuance is more important than action. And while college soccer isn't as bad as pro soccer on this score, many of us are turned off by all the flopping in the men's game.

When you combine those things with the Title IX issues, men's soccer has a lot to overcome.
