I think your little fact might be explained because with CC everyone can run... not so much with soccer... limited space.

Cross Country is a sport for people who cant make the football or soccer team. My HS which has a Great CC (Reynoldsburg 02) team didnt cut anyone and had three runners on their team who didnt make varsity soccer so decided to run.Dlazz speaks the truth......99% of this country could care less. Its not a growing sport in this country.......its not even a popular HS sport. Its a rec sport for 8 year old girls.

And you show your stupidity by saying that CC is more popular than Soccer because theres more runners than soccer players (even though its obviously more because many schools nobody gets cut from CC) and that theres more schools that have CC teams (even though it costs much less money than a soccer team, theres no minimum amount of players and you dont have to have a designated field for CC). Which is obviously why it has more teams, nbot because its so insanely popular.ccrunner609;832693 wrote:statements like this show how stupid alot of people are. You have no clue. EVERY sports costs money. Bus trips, drivers, meet entries etc.... CC is more costly then soccer, unlike most soccer games (empty stands and no ticket gate), Some athletic departments that run large CC invites make more money in one day in CC then a whole season of soccer.

Even if the girls team had won, a week from now most wouldn't give a shit.

Only the total teams that put 5 kids on the line at the districts. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL at you talking about watering "soccer fields" You mean the football teams field in 99% of the cases?
I have posted concrete evidence that their are many more schools and kids running then playing soccerIn regards to $....that argument has nothing to do with it but the person that brought it up was wrong about that also.

I don't know, I might be a soccer fan now. Well, at least more of one than I was prior to the Women's World Cup. I typically only watch replays of football games.

Domestic, because well....its USA.International because the best teams play in England/Spain/Germany/Italy etc. They have the most coverage, the best players, and are in the biggest leagues/tournaments. Plus, the domestic (MLS) league is over the summer. Those other leagues have summer as the off-season, so you can follow a team all year round.
Hmmm. I'm still trying to figure all of this stuff out. My uncle and I talked about this earlier and he said the UEFA (?) was something that I should check out if I'm going to start watching soccer.Laley23;832752 wrote:Just gotta pick a domestic and international team to follow.
