Soccer has made huge progress the last 10-15 years.
The introduction of the MLS and the success of the US national teams, combined with the Youth Club/Select system (and the Olympic Development Program) has dramatically grown the base of support.
It's already the #1 Girls/Women's sport.
Admittedly, things are so crowded on the Mens sports side, it will take time, but the opportunity for world-wide competition, and available $$$'s, will continue to boost its popularity.
I'm a recent convert.
A projection? 30 years from now, soccer will be bigger than baseball.
Thanks for listening.
