Mainstream America is in for a massive surprise this summer. While most of us are well aware of how much bigger soccer is in this country thanks to the explosion of the Internet, the news hasn’t reached Mainstreet USA.
Most average Americans still think they live in a country where soccer is third world sport. However, as Judas Priest once said, “you’ve got another thing coming.”
A lot has changed since the 2006 World Cup. In that tournament, soccer blogs and podcasts were a relatively new thing and it was really the first Internet World Cup for many soccer fans in the United States. Since then, the number of soccer podcasts and blogs has exploded. And on top of all of that, the quantity and quality of soccer on television has increased significantly. As have the TV ratings.
Don’t be surprised to see a lot of shocked faces this summer throughout the United States when people see all of the soccer fans who come out of the woodwork.
Go on, what are the good US soccer blogs then?
