Oh man, so much wrong with this thread right now. First off, Soccer is awesome. Secondly, watching soccer at a pub in early morning hours is equally awesome. Third, soccer is blowing up in this country. There are currently 12 cities fighting for 4 expansion slots into MLS. The average MLS team is now worth $185 million. Up 80% from 2013! Not to mention all the other lower league teams popping up everywhere these days. Fourth, very popular amongst the kids, more kids play soccer now than ever before and it trails only american football in popularity for 12-17 yr olds. Fifth, the Pacific NW is the epicenter for soccer these days. With AK being so close, why the heck could it not work?
