I might get blasted for saying this but I'm not sure how much better Welbeck is than altidore on current form or how much better cleverley/Lamoard is than Bradley. England is better than us but then again they did eke out a 3-2 win against a Scotland team that we whupped 5-0. I know circumstances are different and Scotland's team might've been better for this game but still

Sorry buddy, but this is the right answer. Its not that we don't produce top level athletes, its that those athletes usually play one of the big three sports. Keep in mind that I'm not speaking strictly about raw athleticism, but all of the qualities that make up a supreme athlete: quickness of thought, field/court vision, creativity, etc. Jason Kidd or CP3, had they played soccer, would probably be amazing midfielders. Randy Moss, Kobe, or MJ would make amazing strikers. Simply stated, the best athletes in the U.S. do not play soccer.
