Okay, since you asked, here’s my American opinion.
Soccer will never be as popular in America as football for 3 reasons:
1. The Fake Injuries
Players are incentivized to flop because the other team is more likely to get a penalty.
In football, it is the opposite. If a player has a real injury, play toughs it out and plays through it, it is seen as heroic.
Americans like toughness and grit.
2. Chance Goals
Many goals are scored by chance as opposed to skill. The chaos at the net when the ball is near is remarkable. Defenders blocking the goalie’s line of sight. The ball bouncing and ricocheting off of random body parts often determines if the ball goes in the net or out of bounds.
In football, there are some elements of chance, but because players are allowed to use their hands, the points are primarily scored based on skill. Less is left to chance.
Americans like control.
3. Low Scoring
In football, it is still challenging to score, but it happens much more often. Also, every play has a chance for gratification and excitement: a first down, a big catch, a big hit, a sack, an interception, etc
American like constant excitement.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! FBI Director Patel says leftist NGO Southern Poverty Law Center, which has now been indicted, was using donor to pay leaders of the KU KLUX KLAN to stage "HATE CRIMES"
"They used the FRAUDULENTLY raised money by lying to their donor network—THOUSANDS of Americans—to go ahead and actually PAY the leadership of these supposed violent extremist groups.
"Furthermore, our investigation revealed that the Southern Poverty Law Center—on TOP of perpetuating this widespread decade-long multimillion dollar fraud—conducted more criminal activity.
They attempted to HIDE their criminal activity from our financial banking network.
They set up shell companies and entities around America so that the financial institutions that we rely on as everyday Americans were DECEIVED in believing that money was NOT coming from the Southern Poverty Law Center in the perpetration of this scheme and fraud, but rather fictitious entities they stood up to perpetuate this ongoing fraud."

O CEO da BlackRock reconhecendo que a era WOKE é o "politicamente correto" foi um experimento fracassado criado por eles.
Mais uma vez, a teoria da conspiração sendo verdadeira.
@niccruzpatane My 2016 Tesla S stopped charging in December 2024. It was a $5,000 fix. I said nope. Coincidentally it happened right after I paid it off. Had about 120k miles
@fermionictrees@VraserX What's the point of advanced GPUs if the goal isn't great graphics? That's always been the goal. That's the whole point of all of this. Tf is going on?
