yea, i agree with that 100%. i'm well aware of the passion people have for soccer all over the world, i just don't see it around here. maybe it's just the company i keep, i have met like 2 people over the age of 5 that was a fan of soccer. here in va. beach the city built this really nice soccer stadium. it was built a while ago when playing soccer was really becoming popular among the young kids. the beach even had it's own soccer team, the sharks or something like that, well, attendance never lived up to expectations and now the team is on it's way out and the city is trying to figure out what to do with the stadium.
hockey is a sport that is struggling right now with it's popularity but i'll tell you what, around this area hockey is leaps and bounds ahead of soccer when it comes to popularity. like i said though, maybe it's just the company i keep or maybe it's just the area i live in.
