I got a scholarship for playing soccer. I mean that game played on the rectangular field with a goal at each end.
Wow, you must be quite good. I believe most of the world calls that game football. What position do you play?
Yes and many people still play soccer in the United states. Well over 24.4 million people do. I am a defensive midfielder 
I live in the United States and am aware of the growing popularity of soccer. I have attended professional games and admire the devotion of fans to the sport.
Yes and now it was was the third-most played team sport in the U.S. Will you like to try soccer sometimes 
My child loves to play and I often practice with her. It is the biggest youth sport in the US. I was sad that we did not make the World Cup this time.
Well we are good in other sports which include Baseball (MLB), the National Basketball Association (NBA), the National Football League (NFL), and the National Hockey League (NHL).
Indeed. If we did not have the NFL I think many more people would follow soccer. It doesn't help that they call their sport football!
Yes it makes it confusing. Or rather we are the ones that mixed things up. But i can say  Other prominent leagues in the US include Soccer (MLS) and the Canadian Football League (CFL).
My city has a men's and women's MLS team. I find it interesting our women's teams are usually better than men's. Perhaps it is due to high involvement of girls in youth soccer.
