liking
Hello
I'm wondering which sentence is correct when I want to express the degree of liking. Would you help me?
1) I don't like soccer so much.
2) I don't like soccer too much.
3) I don't like soccer very much.
Which expression is correct? Are these used interchangeably?
If there are better expression, would you give me?
Thank you.

1) I don't like soccer so much. 2) I don't like soccer too much. 3) I don't like soccer very much.
- 1) I don't like soccer so much.
- 2) I don't like soccer too much.
- 3) I don't like soccer very much.
- You are turning normally positive statements into negative statements, but that is not how one would express different degrees of “dislike” or “disapproval” in this case.
- It is better to say: I don’t like soccer I don’t like soccer at all I never like soccer.

1. Doesn't sound natural.
2 is ok but very slangy sounding.
3. ok.
Also,
I don't like soccer - ok.
I don't like soccer at all - ok.
I never like soccer - unatural.
By the way, I really hate football and can't wait for the World Cup to be over!

Actually, to my AmE ears, 1 sounds fine, but slangy.
"What do you want to do? Want to play some soccer?"
"Nah, I don't like soccer so much."
Not so much is very common thing to hear (but again, in conversation, not in writing), and especially in response to a question.
"You like Harry Potter?"
"Not so much. I prefer spy novel to fantasy."
"What do you want to do? Want to play some soccer?"
"Nah, I don't like soccer so much."

Sometimes people speak informally as if there is no difference between so/too/very. However, I think it's important for learners to understand the difference. If they don'
