• Vote: Was the 2010 World Cup a turning point for American soccer interest?

It's four years until the world reconvenes in Brazil for the next World Cup. It's less than two months until Spain faces Liechtenstein in its opening game of Euro 2012 qualifying -- and that will come three weeks after Tottenham and Manchester City open up play in the English Premier League. And you thought the NHL had a short offseason.

Roughly 40 percent of SportsNation puts itself down as having watched at least 10 World Cup matches over 25 days of competition, a seemingly impressive investment in a sport some say has a minor place on the American sporting landscape.

Of course, the inevitable question now is whether gorging on the World Cup quenched your appetite for soccer or whether you'll soon be wandering the streets like a soccer-addicted extra from "The Wire," muttering about the transfer market and hitting up ESPN3.com for preseason exhibitions like Inter Milan versus Manchester City.

If it's a tipping point, new fans like SportsNation's greg_g74_pt.2 will decide the next move.

• "Except for the terrible officiating throughout and the lack of replay that just wouldn't be tolerated by any sport besides baseball in the U.S., I was very pleased by the World Cup. There were so many last minute heroics and late goals that made the watching of this World Cup very enjoyable. And this is coming from someone who hasn't watched much soccer since the previous WC, besides US qualifying matches. I am hoping that the officiating is improved upon in the next four years so the results of matches are determined by the players and not the officials. One bad call can cause a team to not have a chance for redemption for four years." -- Read greg_g74_pt.2's full post.
