Soccer What? 109,000 See ManU vs. Real Madrid in Michigan

Yeah, sure, there are still plenty of old school, narrow-minded people in the U.S who say nobody cares about soccer in the U.S.

We'd argue they are wrong.

Dead wrong.

109,000-plus...a U.S record crowd...showed up Saturday to watch the Real Madrid vs. Manchester United friendly game at the University of Michigan's massive football stadium.

Yes folks, 109,318 people showed up to see a soccer game.

The game was won by Man U and stars like Wayne Rooney and Christiano Ronaldo played in the game, but it's the fact so many people came out to the game that makes this a big story.

But it sets the growth curve...


It's an interesting experiment that David Hill is trying for their expanded coverage in the sport...

It makes you ask:
1) How he did and,
2) Does every soccer announcer have to be British to be accepted...???

The HQ would answer in the negative and give JP Dellacamera as our example...

What do you think, dear reader...???
