Soccer is quite a popular sport played and watched in Springfield.

History

Bart sat alone in the rain for hours after Homer failed to pick him up from soccer practice.^[1]

The Simpson family went to watch a World Cup match in Springfield between Mexico and Portugal.^[2]

One of the trailers the family had to sit through waiting for Shenani-Goats to start was for a family movie about a mummy who is brought back from the dead to play for a boy named Justin's soccer team, teaching him to believe in himself in the process.^[3]

Homer was once the referee for Lisa's matches. Lisa watched a DVD of a World Cup game involving Brazil. The game got extremely violent and it was said that a statue of the Virgin Mary came to life and beat the holy snot out of the players. Ronaldo is a famous Soccer player who Homer has met.^[4]
