That's really all it comes down to. If you're playing soccer in the US it's probably because you're not athletic enough to play football or basketball. Maybe once football dies because of lawsuits we'll switch to basketball/soccer. Our hispanic population could slowly improve the overall quality until the sport gains critical mass.

The best potential white athletes don't play sports either. The importance of sport is lost as a group attains a higher stature and income for the most part. As a poor kid sports were everything to me, my kids pffft whatever. Think on a whole higher plane than I did.

the best soccer players from the world's top teams aren't their best athletes, what makes you think that the best athletes in the US would be the top soccer players? Let's look at the top goal scorers in the world cup:

James 5'11" 170lbs
Mueller 6'0" 160lbs
Messi 5'7" 150lbs
Neymar 6'1" 180lbs
Robben 5'10" 160lbs

Do you think these guys are the best athletes in their country?
