My point is Lacrosse+Hockey+Soccer= no dice in the USA.
and I've been hearing that shit about soccer picking up in the states for the last 10 years. MLS teams are owned mostly by one guy. the fusion folded here because not even the hispanics here were interested enough to watch.
and let me state once again Hockey is in decline so if you strive to be like Hockey you will fail.

Actually Virginia and Johns Hopkins were in the national championship.
And the MLS is gaining steam, mostly due to America's showing in the last World Cup.
And again I AM NOT SAYING LACROSSE IS STRIVING TO BE HOCKEY. I am saying there are similarities in the sports, but that lacrosse improves upon it. Watch a lacrosse game sometime and you will see.
There is a lot of hitting, but its a remainder from the roots of the sport as a substitute for war. There is a lot of scoring involved. It is much faster then hockey, and has the continual action of soccer.
Now, I'm not a soccer fan myself, in fact, I can barely stand to watch it. Anyway, trying to predict the future of any sport more then three-four years in advance is like predicting the weather, or the computer industry. But I see the MLS becoming a true "major league" within ten years. When cities are spending public money to build soccer-only facilities (see Dallas, Southern California, etc.) you can see where it will go.
