Breaking news for you "international" people Nooooobody in Murica gives the slightest crap about soccer

News for you; America doesn't have to be involved for something to be international  

I love how this thread goes from a ingame concern to an all out war of sports vs. no sports.

Almost every thread ends up like this... Well with different themes ofcourse!

Why should the big kids get what they want if it's different to what everyone else wants? Idk if your post was serious or not, but FYI, MLS is constantly increasing in popularity, I wouldn't be surprised if it surpasses and becomes one of the 3 Top American sports within the next decade.

The problem is the games in the MLS really aren't that good compared to other leagues. Don't see a reason to watch American leagues at all lol.

did you hear about the latest loan/transfer signings though? Some team in MLS is getting players from Tottenham. Theres been a new trend of EPL players transferring (as players or managers) to MLS teams before they retire too and a lot of european players are near retiring so you never know if they ever decide to move

Before they retire is the key word. All the players who used to be good come to the MLS to ride out there golden years lol.

News for you; America doesn't have to be involved for something to be international

How is it international then if not all the countries where the game is available are not involved?

No offense, to the admins but it seems to me that we have Soccer permanently placed in the game when no other sport is because most if not all the higher up admins are not from the US. Their being from other countries means their favorite or primary sport is soccer.

I'm not saying we have to get just American football items in the game it could be any sports items. The point I was trying to make in my last post before I got off on a rant was that All Sports are international and it doesn't matter where they are based.

Maybe it would be better to help make all interested parties happy if they released a lot of different sports themed items instead of just one particular sport. That way people in one country aren't complaining about it being just items from a sport that's mostly just popular in another country.

PS. Just wanted to correct myself there is 1 other sports item in the game other than soccer and that being the furniture pool tables,however other than placing some sort of text or whatever on them they are not interactive. (interactive=being able to actually play pool or billards as its known in some countries.) (No I do not count the "mini golf course" as its actually a pk place and there is nothing you can actually buy,own,or do with it.)

international [in-ter-nash-uh-nl]
adjective
1. between or among nations; involving two or more countries

As for 'why only soccer items' - its probably because its the most popular sport, not because of non american admins lol, and also because its simple to implement, it just needs a ball. Other games like pool or hockey would need much more attention to create well.
Also archery is in the game as well as the bull riding in nexus, both of which are sports.
I would like to see sport items in the game, especially large sports event like the Olympics/FIFA world cup but making actual minigames would be quite a lot of work.  

Wow  

We have a working soccer ball and net in the Brothers' house, just an FYI. I can imagine there being hockey with the same concept except with ice skates.  

:o soccer is a growing now in the USA :o and I wouldn't mind have guilds having their own fifa World Cup thing like gst ;D.

I see why your defending soccer now your from the UK so of course you would think it's the most popular sport. Maybe you should try doing a poll and see what major sport gets the most votes. I do realize it is a very simplistic game to implement. I do admit I over looked archery as a sport being in the game,however I wouldn't count bull riding as its not in the game ATM. You where only able to do it for one weekend and now its no longer around.

The only reason the soccer popularity is growing in USA is because the Immigrant population is growing. So let's do the math immigrants are people from other countries and what sport is the most popular in other countries????
SOCCER.
