Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 1755055, member: 19"] I think soccer was always popular. When I was a kid of early sports playing age (some 35 years ago) every single kid played soccer. From ages 6 to 12. Continued on middle school and high school teams. Never a shortage of kids interested. But the same applied to baseball. I don't have a dog in the fight, because I like both sports, but soccer people love attacking baseball as the sport they will surpass. I guess baseball people attack soccer too? I usually hear it from football people. Soccer just isn't passing baseball here anytime soon. Certainly not in 10 years. People said it 20 years ago (1996), 10 years ago. [/QUOTE]
