    We easily could...we just don't care. Soccer here in the US (and I believe Canada) ranks just below professional row-boating on the importance meter.

    That's because we import all our people and left with the scrubs when they go back to their homelands and play for them. Same thing happens to the NHL and MLB when the Winter Olympics roll around or the World Classic all the good players leave to play for their home countries.


    Still doesn't explain why you can't make good USA born players.

    I played for about 10 years myself. It's a lot of fun, I like it. Out of all the sports I've played (which is basically all the main ones except football) it's the hardest physically because there is so much damn running,

    Yeah sure, you just don't care. But you care enough to buy players like David Beckham, Thierry Henry and others for huge ammount of money.

    That's a really, really bad analogy.


    I don't see how.
    They're not using their feet the ENTIRE game to kick the ball around. Just like how they're not always running around. They stop every so often, and have breaks/timeouts.

    WE didn't care about Beckham. The LA Galaxy cared and it did absolutely nothing for the sport here. Nobody cared or even noticed.

    Probably because people don't give a f*ck? Could be the reason just be seeing other fellow Statesmen's responses.

    Just admit there is no talent among men in USA. How come you have a great female team and male sucks? It's the same sport. All you can do is get afro americans, asians and people from other countries to play your basketball and get a bunch of brainless big guys to play your "football" that requires no skill whatsoever.

    Sports don't do well in the US if they are not divided up into short quarters/periods, it is to do with attention spans.
