I know soccer isn't beloved in America and i get why. but word in europe (lol) is that the MLS keeps getting bigger each and every year, is it true ?? i mean do you the american minority (lmao) on this forum have noticed a growing interest in soccer on your soil ?

i follow the MLS and i've noticed that stadiums are packed and within a week a clip of a potential "goal of the year" have already reached 2 mill hits on youtube, so i'm guessing it's really getting big

the goal in question :

Javier:
I can't really speak on the other cities, but from the soccer fans that I know in Los Angeles they really don't care about the MLS. Most of the Mexican friends I know, and myself included don't really even see MLS games, not even during the playoffs.  We do check out the Mexican League though.  I can maybe see that in cities where there aren't that many Mexicans, MLS could possibly grow.  Los Angeles is so big though, that it can support two MLS clubs and actually have a decent following...not entirely sure if it's growing though.

Soccer has gotten pretty big around here. The Sounders get about 35,000 fans per game which is at least 10,000 more than the next city. There's a good chance that a lot of that has to do with our NBA team getting jacked and our baseball not making the world series in 30+ years of existence but you can't argue with the passion.

K.Dub:
I still don't understand why the American people don't embrace the world's greatest sport..

Lunatic:
It's pretty damn big here in Toronto, Canada (MLS - Toronto FC). That's because Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, with MOST people in the 15-35 age group, they're parents being immigrants from Europe (especially Italy & Portugal), therefore Soccer is HUGE here; we grew up with it but we definitely cheer for our background country (Portugal, Italy, etc) instead of Canada (doesn't help that Canada sucks)
