Sweet.

Tell us about your experiences with pre-Donovan US Soccer.

So are we talking about just USMNT soccer? Are we talking about the sport as whole in the country? The MLS?

Im not sure what you are asking.

The first WC I watched was the 86 Mexico cup on spanish only feeds satellite while spending the summer at my cousins. Since then I think the single biggest boost to US soccer was the 94 WC hosted here in the US followed by Lamar Hunt's commitment to building a viable domestic league afterwards. Not even going to go into the many great college coaches through the years that helped grow the sport at a grass roots level.
