Best Answer

Soccer had a big impact on America for 2 reasons, one is the influx of foreign born nationals ( Polish, Mexican, German etc who enjoy the game. The second is the start of organized soccer by these immigrants outside the normal core of Baseball, football, Basketball etc that encourage running and fitness. American love new things and we are just a bit late to engage in a sport that others have enjoyed at a high level for centuries.
