Soccer isn't as much like hockey as it is to women's lacrosse. No real contact, played on a field, positions match better. That's not the point though.
Soccer is definately gaining acceptance and I'm sure a good deal of it comes from doing so well this past World Cup. We enjoy watching the current major American sports because we have the most skilled leagues in the world for them. The MLS, however, does not come close to the skill level of many other worldwide soccer leagues. Another factor is that children have many more popular sports to choose from in America. Not every kid grows up with soccer as kids in other countries do.
