What Is It About Soccer?

Please help me understand the immense popularity of soccer (football, futbol) worldwide. And ... ... why it still continues to languish in the United States. Like basketball, it seems like a constantly moving, fast-paced game that the American sports enthusiast should enjoy. The rest of the world has certainly figured that out. What is it about soccer that the world knows and Americans don't?

I just don't know what to do with my life

If you were 22, in good financial shape and completely aimless: What would you do with the next 2-3 years of your life? I never went to college. I moved to San Francisco straight out of school to learn about the real world and build a business.. I got lucky with some of my projects and now live a very comfortable life without working too much. I am lazy, and this financial comfort makes it worse. Alas, I'm completely aimless.

My options:

- work harder
- school, but what do I need a piece of paper for?
- move back to europe, move in with old friends, get back together with an ex-girlfriend, take some random classes and play guitar
- pack a bag and hit the road until I make up my mind

I realize how pathetic I sound. I'm extremely fortunate, but can't seem to get anything out of it. Any ideas?

Thanks!
