Our premier athletes don't play soccer unlike the rest of the world. We will never be able to compete in the World Cup.

You're an idiot, flat out.

Let's look at youth sports shall we? Hmm, taht's why from 1987-2002 youth soccer participation increased 15%. From 2002-2006 it has also increased, but I am not sure of the percentage. The MLS has also expanded. It doesn't pay well...YET. That's what happens when something isn't very popular YET dumbass. Let's take a look at sponsors. Adidas, Pepsi, Nike, and various other medium-large size sponsors. Oh yeah, you're an ignorant dumbass.

Oh yeah and for the US national team, Budweiser is a main sponsor, Home depot, Gatorade, Hyuandai, Panasonic, Pepsi, and Nike. EA sports and other various smaller sponsors.

I think soccer is awesome, I just don't see us dominating the sport anytime soon. Scratch is right though when he says it will change.

Given how much youth soccer has grown, I think we will have a really good national team in a few years.

I went with my club team over to Italy to play in a tournament and we were just as good as the European teams. We played teams from Italy, Spain, and Holland.

True man, we just need a few fresh spark plugs to revamp and make a real national team, and its game on.
And if we can have good US players getting better money playing for european clubs...that helps too.

This definately wasnt the year, but the day will come.
