I agree. I find the subject of soccer interesting too because yes, globalization is happening, and our individual cultures are disappearing. Therefore it's expected to see soccer begin to become more of a focus in non-traditional soccer countries...especially the US. The idea of placing an NFL team in London is gaining traction too in the last couple of years.

I'll add regarding soccer...I think in order to say the interest in soccer is growing, we'll need to see a major upswing in the popularity of the MLS. Will we ever see top-notch players come over from Europe to play besides when they're dried up? Many Americans already follow the Euro leagues pretty closely, and I've noticed since the WC, ESPN has been showing highlights more frequently from the club games over in Europe. It'd be nice is some how UEFA would allow the MLS to qualify for the Champions League...it would add a HUGE number of viewers.
