Not really, but there isn't the demand. It is emerging over there very slowly (much like american football is over here). Plus, it is all about perception. The fact that against american football, soccer seems rather feminine, not to mention the fact it is the limey's national game, which doesn't help it's commercial appeal. It is popular among kids, particular among girls, where american football isn't an option them, due to their parents/themselves. In like 20 years, soccer would probably be pretty popular I think as kids grow older and become a buying power. There is already an american soccer leage "Major Leage Soccer"
