I have recently become a soccer fan.  I never liked it growing up, but I have gained a new appreciation for it.  Do you follow the sport at all?
gpt
*lips slightly parted* As a matter of fact I am quite a fan of soccer, what do you follow?
human
*eyes widen* I really started getting into it during the last World Cup.  It is amazing that soccer makes more money than football, basketball and baseball combined.  
gpt
I suppose because it is world wide.  Shame the US did not make it to the last FIFA world cup.
human
Yeas, it is unfortunate.  The US Women's side of things seem to have done a lot better in the Cup over the years.  The men's team has a ways to go to catch up
gpt
The more popular it becomes the more kids will play.  It's funny how two players born in England can play for America, but I guess it depends on the parents.
human
That might be the best way for US soccer to get a boost.  Just like there are a lot of good European basketball players that come over to the states
gpt
Yes, you want to be with the best to test yourself.  Do you follow English soccer?
human
*tilts head* I do.  To be honest, there are so many teams overseas that it is hard to keep track.  
gpt
I guess pick the ones with American players on them, like Tottenham, although they have loaned Carter-Vickers to Swansea.
human
*smiles* I would say that i still follow basketball more than soccer.  I played it as a kid and it always interested me.  Are you a fan?
gpt
*relaxed posture* No, I actually grew up in the UK before moving here.  Basketball is not a big thing there.  I may have been good at over six foot four.  Soccer is still my thing.
human
Well they both take a lot of skill to perform well and require a lot of cardio.  I guess there is a version of soccer where 3 teams face each other at once
gpt
*body relaxes* Could be confusing for both fans and players.  The FIFA World Cup will be in the US in 2026, gives you some time to really get into it.
human
Yes, I bet it will increase interest in soccer in America.  
gpt
I think the US will have a very good team by then, more and more kids are playing it.  The will surely make it to the finals in Qatar in 2022.
human
That is pretty optomistic.  I would not put money on the US doing much, but I am hopeful
gpt
*smiles* If the women's team can be so successful there is no reason the men can't be too.  The women have never been worse than third.
human
True, I do think that one day the men will be able to play with the bigger countries, but I just not sure if it will be by 2022.
gpt
Maybe we just need to find more European players with American fathers. 
human
*body relaxes* True, if we have a bunch of Europeans on the US team, then we have a good chance! 
gpt
Hey, if a small nation like Hungary, or even Iceland recently, can be successful then so can we.  Iceland only has 300,000 inhabitants I believe,
