Football will never be big in the USA because you don't score every other minute.

Actually it could become big. it wouldn't replace American Football. But If the Guys ever win a world cup, It could light a spark. Donovan's Miracle Goal against Algeria in 2010 got a huge amount of attention in the US. (At that time, US wouldn't of made it out of the group stage. With that goal they did.)

(Also, The US Women's team got a lot of attention last year during the women's world cup. Throughout the whole tournament And They're one of the women's side powers.)

Plus there is Clint Dempsey doing well over here in the Premier League which will attract attention from people wanting to keep tabs on his progress.

Save by San Iker from Thiago Motta.

But how would they win a World Cup? In order to win a tournament like that, football has to be the biggest sport in the country, and for it to be anywhere near that in the USA they would have to be the best in the world. It's a vicious cycle.

The reason they're so into Am. Football, Ice Hockey and Basketball is that they're the only country in the world that play them (although Basketball is becoming a bit more prominent in Europe) and therefore they're the best. Your country has too much bloody pride :P
