As an American, I think soccer is very boring... just guys kicking a little ball back and forth for two hours, and in the process only scoring 1 or 2 points. Football has action, and is full of adrenaline. And it also takes way more strategy than soccer. Most of all, I like the physical slamming and everything. In soccer, guys aren't actually supposed to slam into the next guy as hard as they can. I love the big hits.
Here is my perfect example. As SSA said, he is American and he said exactly what the American fan wants and thinks. It is not his fault when he says football takes a lot more strategy because he doesn't understand soccer, which is why he is unable to enjoy a 2 hour match where only one or two goals are scored. To him, it is "a bunch of guys kicking a little ball back and forth". If anyone wonders why soccer will not become popular in the U.S., look no further than the reasons listed by SSA.
