Ne treba zanemariti veoma bitnu činjenicu u vezi sa popularnošću "sokera" u Amera, a to je stalno rastući broj latinoameričke populacije, kojoj je fudbal ipak sport broj jedan.
Vjerovatno to, a i dosta European expats.
Evo zapravo par isjecaka iz dobrog research papera na tu temu (necu vise postavljati tekstove ironicno, izgleda da ne pale ovdje

Americans also are troubled by various components and logistics of the game, due to unwavering values in American culture: that winning is highly important and that more is better. [4] These two values explain why
Americans have trouble with aspects of the game, such as tie games, low scoring, ambiguous calls or rules and abstruse injury time.
In addition, the lack of fandom in the United States is directly related to the lack of media and television coverage of soccer in the United States. Americans’ interests are correlated to what the media presents, while the media also correlates to what the population is interested in.
...
One reason, in particular, why the media and Americans are both seemingly uninterested in soccer, could be because of the
sport’s lack of “star” players to fixate on. Often times, it is these iconic superstars in sports that Americans love to follow, therefore creating a lot of media coverage of these “stars”. Nevertheless, the United States have consistently lacked “star” players that have permeated into the hearts of people across America.

The
youth programs foster a competitive environment, but as youth, high school, and college soccer comes to an end, these players’ futures become hazy. The soccer environment (including salary, quality of professional leagues, etc.) differs greatly from the environment in comparison to the rest of the world. [6]

Sadly, the almighty dollar has much to do with what sports children persist in, even given the long odds of them becoming professional athletes. Bottom line:
High revenue sports generate more media attention in any culture, and provide bigger paydays. In America, football, basketball, and baseball (and to a lesser degree, hockey) fall in that category.
Soccer does not.

Soccer, in the past, usually was solely
considered to be mainstream in America during the short-lived time of the World Cup every four years, but the increasing interest in the game is exemplified by this broadcasting of the English Premier League in the United States.

“I came to the sport in 1982 and I was made fun of. The sport was seen as less than masculine, it was seen as un-American, you were kind of a weirdo or outsider if you were into soccer… To see these scenes around the US is incredible.
“There are still pockets where there are holdouts; Nascar country, the south, for instance. One of my thoughts is that it’s really gained momentum during the last 10 years, during the Bush-Cheney era among a certain educated class – just to show that ‘we’re not into kind of meatheaded, American sports, but we’re more international and soccer’s this great international game with all this great political subtext’.”

Josh Chetwynd, a Denver-based writer and broadcaster, was born in London but grew up in the US. He lived in England for most of the previous decade. “It’s a broad statement, but Americans in their sports are not quite as tribal as Europeans, so to me that’s the reason why you’re never going to have soccer as popular in the US as elsewhere in the world,” he said.
“If you want to be socially integrated living in England you would have to at least be marginally literate in the Premier League. It’s what guys talk about. It’s part of the culture, and something I wanted to be part of. After I moved there, the first question I had was ‘who do you support, or who are you going to support?’ If you move to America it’s not like that, it’s not, ‘who’s going to be your baseball team? Who’s going to be your [American] football team?’”
