Are there really no US soccer players of enough quality to be ranked in the top 100 in the world? Just trying to learn a little about the sport with the world cup coming up and reading lists of the top players in the world and not one list that I read lists a US player, even a list that went up to the top 100. Are we really that far behind the rest of the world? I thought we had closed the gap and were a legitimate decent quality team.
Who wrote the article? U.S. soccer doesn't get much respect especially from English people. Howard is the only one who would make such a list.
Being a top 100 player in the world is pretty tough though. There are a lot of very good players walking the earth right now.

Then could you say that the USA is a team that has no real star players but can field a very solid team with not much drop off from it's best player to it's 11'th player. Maybe more so than other teams in the world cup who maybe have a couple of superstars but have weaknesses at other positions?
