                             Soccer’ America’s Game?

          Goal! You have just heard one of the most famous quotes in sport history. It came from the sport soccer, which is one of the only professional sports played worldwide. Many arguments have rised since the feuds between sports started. It started with soccer and football, which one was the most played and most popular sport in America. In the votes came and of course, soccer won by two votes. Soccer is especially played in Europe in which they call it football, so don’t get your football game-face on because soccer or football has a special place of its own!

          I believe soccer is America’s sport, which everyone knows about and enjoys. Since soccer was invented in England, many people came to America for better wages and a better life at that time. So, when they came, they brought there professional soccer skills and introduced America to its later to be most funded sport. America’s population is over 305,000,000 and two fourths of those watch and enjoy soccer, leaving two fourths for the other twelve sports that America participates in. Soccer is the dominant sport when it comes to the most tickets sold out each game. Soccer started all of sports history and will surely end its time of playing the same way.

          Soccer is not America’s sport. I have many more friends that would rather watch and enjoy baseball or football. Soccer was made in England, Europe and baseball and football were American made sports. So, the probability of them having more fans and viewers than soccer is possible. Also, more people might watch football because more people play football rather than soccer. The reason for that is that football is easier to learn and play  and you catch but, in soccer it is harder to learn  and you can only use your legs. Football may have been invented after soccer but football is a more aggressive sport and you know us men, whatever has to do with anyone getting hurt, we are sitting their, our eyes gleaming with excitement, and enjoying every second of it.

          Soccer has concurred America with its popularity and fans. It all made sense for America to include soccer in its sports history because it is very popular. As of right now America’s population is over 300,000,000 and half of that is all soccer fans. That is around 150,000,000 soccer fans just in America! Soccer, also known as football, is the most funded and paid for sport in America which makes it special. Also, many soccer players on the American team are from foreign countries, which makes their fans and families come to America to watch, increasing the soccer fan population. Soccer is a perfectly balanced sport that uses almost everyone of your muscles and helps them get stronger. So, if you like sports that involve feet and aggressive players, join the big soccer family!
