Canada has a better chance of adopting it with our larger proportion of immigrants. It's actually exciting that the U-20 World Cup is happening here this year.

But if theres one thing that you americans LOVE (and i mean LOVE) its a star. A real gay primadonna that walks around with makeup and painted fingernails.
And here comes beckham.
Not saying its going to take over, i just think it will get a ridiciulous boost in popularity simply because of miss beckham and maybe his hot wife.
In america, golf sucked untill tiger woods. Hockey sucked untill gretzky. Basketball sucked untill magic johnson (and later jordan boosted even more). Baseball sucked untill the babe.
Yes, i know its not a 100% direct business model, but its weirdly "accurate". Im not saying theres anything wrong with it, im just saying that you americans really love your stars and here comes one of the currently biggest of the most popular sport in the world that was never really adopted by the americans (maybe cause of them EVIL METRICS!), by all accounts soccer should get an incredible popularity boost over there in the following time.
