You're wrong though and you deny the truth because you seem offended at the thought of it and because you are a bit of a bigot. The fact is Americans do watch soccer and it's the third most attended sport in the US. The English Premier League is a top trend in the US when it's being played. So is the CL.

I wasn't even talking about the fans anyway. I was talking about the league and the strength of it. The quality on show. World class players in their peaks playing there not using it as a final payday before retirement.

We can discuss it if you want, Charles.

Nobody watches soccer, nobody talks about soccer, nobody cares about soccer, and soccer is not aired on television besides ESPN. Your information is wrong and I don't know why you think you'd know better than an American. I guess the British think they know better than everyone.

Sounds like some bottom-of-the-barrel sports channel nobody watches.

Has it always been like that or did people just start caring?

And there's a lot of sports that get played at bars that aren't necessarily big.

Check the edit. Might be changing, it does seem to be more common among the younger folk.

I have about 200 match programs, from the 50s, 60s, 70s mainly. I have the one from the 1966 World Cup Final and the 1968 European Cup Final. I also have a signed MU ball when they won the 1991 Cup Winners Cup, a signed Aston Villa shirt, and a signed letter from Sir Alex Ferguson, when I invited him to my birthday party. @Q

Got the shirt framed in a photo frame but I'd like to get it done properly. It's from 2005/6 season. Whole team signed it. I love it 💜💙💜💙💜
