Most noticeable difference that I noticed is that there are way more women part of the football culture and crowd in the states. I think this has to do with the combination of American sport culture in general and the american women's team being the best in the world.

[@vajra8]

yeah one thing ive noticed in the usa is that women play more football than boys. i think its because boys in the usa are mostly interested in basketball or american football

[@gacaptain]

Women in America tend to attend all our sports here more than women in Europe go to sporting events. But I think Women in the U.S. are especially fond of football (soccer) not only because alot of them play it but because alot of them are responsible for taking their kids to and from soccer matches and practice and they attend their children's games, cheer them on and become a fan of the sport that way. That's where the expression "soccer moms" has become popular here.

[@lonetobefree5722]

Americans are now better than English fans. English fans are the quietest around the world. And you can't deny Americans for working hard at building a fan base where football isn't the dominating sport. No doubt they are learning from our Europa Ultras without the hooligan faction and I commend that because it suits the US.
