Thats exactly it. American media have not figured out a way to slice it up, or for that matter, to show it better than the super wide angle shot you normally see when you turn on a soccer match. I love the sport, and play it when I can, but its hard to watch it when the men appear like tiny little dots on the screen.
Agreed. It's a shame. But lots of US kids are learning the game. A really good soccer match has an elegance to it, almost like watching ballet. I was peripherally involved in the US magazine Soccer, which made a valiant try to succeed in the US market, but just couldn't generate enough sales.
