I love soccer but as I got older and watched MJ hang in the air I kicked the soccer ball in the garage and put my full attention into Basketball. This world cup is extremely effected by the weather. Most of the central and South American countries are thriving.....
Another reason why America will never become a top contender with home grown players is because of the increasing number of kids getting into lacrosse. More and more schools are adopting lacrosse. It's a fall sport and therefore is attracting kids from football and soccer. Football is already established and is widely loved in America..... The kids with raw talent that do well through their youth won't be going to lacrosse. Same goes with soccer...... But there's a hell of a lot less because it was never pushed as a "popular" sport. Hell..... Highschools have 1/4 of the budget for soccer as they do football. Atleast...... That was the case for my highschool.
