Reason Why the U.S. Soccer (Footy) team will never be great
Sure, they can make a quartr final to the World Cup.. that's fine. But will they ever really be in contention to win it all? No..

Now, you're probably thinking to yourself, we have this huge population, all these resources, we should be a soccer powerhouse and it's a failure that we aren't.. but the fact is..

Our bigger, faster, stronger, etc.. athletes all play baseball, football, and basketball in this country because they can make more money doing that and continue living here if they are successful..

Some of you may not be aware, but our athletes in the three sports mentioned, make millions and millions of dollars.. It'd take too much work for the MLS to ever sell soccer to people in this country when we already have all these huge multi-billion dollar sports that kids can play..

If soccer was ever going to be big in the States, it would have had to happen a hundred years ago.. For whatever the reason, it didn't, and now it's too late..

We'll never have a great team capable of winning it all.
