i don't see it ever truly taking off in the States. you have to remember that all major sports in the US share a lot in common (trade system, free agents, drafting, league format, etc.) whereas footy has the transfer system (albeit it is a little different within the MLS) as well as domestic and continental competitions that are just too strange for your average 'murican sports fan to get behind.
of course that's just how i see it. even as the sport becomes bigger around here, nobody is tuning into the MLS over the PL. it gets watched because of convenience.
