I'm not saying that's the only reason. I meant that in reference to our perceived lack of a soccer culture. In most countries (but not all) soccer is the biggest sport. Every kid dreams of playing for their national side in the WC. In our country, it's only the 5th or 6th most popular sport.
I'm saying we are perceived as not having our priorities straight.
I'm not saying that's the primary reason, I'm just saying it adds to it.
