Sadly, the US is still in the "Football, Baseball, Basketball and Hockey are the only REAL sports" frame of mind. Though, with as many Hispanics immigrating, and jumping the fence, and more Europeans coming over that mindset is starting to crumble. Hopefully it will continue to crumble and Soccer will become more accepted here.

There are a couple special cable channels that cover soccer, but getting companies to carry them is nearly impossible. ESPN has stepped up the coverage and are showing a few of the UEFA Champions League matches, but even then it's usually 2 games every two weeks. They sometimes toss some women's college matches, or US MLS matches, up on the weekends. Though, they are supposed to carry all of the World Cup matches so next year will be better for fans.

I wish it got more respect over here. It's a great game to play and watch.
