As someone who is not a big soccer (football, futbol) fan, but has a son who plays, The United States tour of Manchester United is something to behold.

They sold out the new Lincoln Financial stadium, and in fact are christening that facility, and have sold out every stadium they've played in.

The eternal question in sports is why does soccer not have a bigger following in the US? Millions of kids play and millions of parents coach, so why does soccer not break in as one of the elite sports? Because it can never compete with the NFL juggernaut.

Fantasy football leagues for football are everywhere, and continue to grow. Sunday football is more than a tradition, it is an integral part of the American psyche.
