I also observed when I was living in the US, soccer tended to be a
girl's game -

It is slowly changing.

One problem, at least in NC, is that the boy's soccer season is at the
same
time as football. The most athletic boys go for the glamour of football
(the one with the funny shaped ball that doesn't bounce right), and the
smaller, speedy types go for soccer.

Can never understand why they call it football when the last thing they want
to do is kick the ball.
real football is what you call soccer which is a name I hate.
