It can happen, despite the answers above. But,, what it will tke is an evolution of the mind set of Americans for scoring, the big four sports know that, thats why every rule change has been to increase scoring. And since the rest of the world loves soccer just the way it is, don't look for thins anytime soon.
BUT.... More importantly, Soccer will have to outspend, in marketing dollars, the other entrenched sports. Like any business, professional sports has increased the cost of entry into the market. This is the primary reason that if it happens, it will not be anytime soon.
Get satilite TV and watch the international games till then.
GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLLL

I don't think it will ever dominate for the same reason that baseball or american football will never dominate in Europe. It is not the traditional sport. I definitely see soccer gaining popularity. ESPN even sees it as they have signed an 8 yead deal to televise the MLS. People in America have also started to take greater interest in the English Premier league.

I think the majority of American children get involved in soccer before they do in any other sport. $$$ is not the reason whether people play or stop playing a game. It's all about the passion. Soccer may not dominate in the near future, but it might get close in a few years. Not only us "foreigners" like soccer, most of the women's national team are Anglo and they are if not the best, one of the top three teams in the world. Viva el futbol!

Never gonna happen. Just get over it. Soccer is for the foreigners. In the US , we have $$$$. In other poor countries, little kids play soccer with a rock wrapped in tape and with sandals. Now is that the American way?? HELL NO Soccer will never be as good as the MLB
