Are you kidding?
Of course we have ice hockey leagues in Europe.
To the soccer world cup: Yes, the US boys were the better team
but forget to make a goal. Brazil is by far the best team and
will win the tournament without problems. The arbritation is
a scandal. Italy and Spain should have made it against Korea
but the "experienced" referees from Egypt, Jamaica, Burkina Faso
and other important soccer countries saw it differently.
That's a shame and needs to be corrected until the next world
cup in Germany.
To soccer in the US:
What I hear and read soccer is on the way to become the most
popular sports among the kids in the US. Is that true?
But nevertheless I think it will take decades (or centuries) to
make soccer popular there. It is culture, and in the same way
American Football and baseball are not well accepted in Europe
soccer will have difficulties in the US.
