Just reading a bunch of rules is boring and won't help. I watched some of the world cup because of the USA playing and tried hard to enjoy it.
I learned American football by watching years of TV and learning from the comentators. These comentators that I've heard in soccer are no help and talk way above the level of fans trying to learn the game. Their commentary was fine I suppose for someone from Brazil, but if they want soccer to catch on in the US then they need to do some educating or there will be no interest.
Right now the interest is high because of the US playing other countries, but once it's over soccer will go back to a minor sport in the US.
I've got to say I've enjoyed the skill I've seen of players passing the ball with accuracy that is unbelieveable, but the public needs to learn the game, rules, and strategies and the best way to learn this is for the comentators to explain what is going on and not assume everyone already knows.
I'm trying to become a fan but need help.
