The United States has one of the most formidable sports cultures on the planet. We give our schools access to some excellent facilities, and we promote sporting in general in a variety of ways in our society; with a country the size of ours, it’s hard not to understand why we are so athletic. Yet, if there’s one sport that hasn’t taken root in our country (at least to the level which many would like to see) it would have to be soccer (that’s football to the rest of the world).
Since professional soccer is still relatively nascent in the US, the possibilities of being able to catch a soccer game on the fly-your local bar, a street corner, at the station-are significantly slimmer than in other countries. And, since uninvitedly changing the channel at your local sports dive from the NFL Sunday Ticket to some European or Latin American soccer final would probably cause a bar fight (with me as the sole victim of aggression), soccer nuts usually don’t have a way to change the status quo, much less satisfy their hunger for some live game time.
Fortunately, there are one or two options for die-hard soccer fans looking to quench their thirst, though most cable and satellite TV customers would have no clue about it. Availability used to be relatively limited, but nowadays it is possible to get a channel that plays some local and international soccer included in one of the better-priced packages.
Fox Soccer Channel stands out as one of the most comprehensive ventures into the soccer-viewing market: with live games or at least highlights from just about every major competition in global soccer, you’re sure to be able to stay up to date on all your favorite teams. Like the name says, this channel is dedicated to soccer, all day, every day. If only more people could learn to appreciate the brilliance of this gift; but, alas, it is the easily kept secret of a few fanatics. Also available is GolTV, which has the rights to different competitions than Fox Soccer Channel, so there’s luckily even more for the picking.
Now, with luck, in a few years local fans will have learned to support their MLS team more, more cities will actually have an MLS team in the first place, and soccer culture will take its place rightful place within national sports culture. If this were to happen, then perhaps it will get easier to catch a moment or two on the fly of that game you needed to watch but couldn’t cut out the time for; and no, you won’t get evil glares from the fellow patrons of your local sports dive for merely suggesting to change from football to soccer-just don’t expect that they’ll be willing to do the favor yet. Maybe, just maybe, if the US were ever to win a World Cup title, then perhaps they’ll do the favor. Till then, our national team will have to keep training harder and harder.
