also soccer needs to be exposed to more kids at an early age, especially in the deep south.


Kids start soccer around 3 or 4 years old. I've seen more kids in soccer and less in football. My sons play football, one in 5th grade and the other in 8th. Last season the youth leagues had to go 9 on 9 because enrollment was at an all time low. Parents scared of concussions. I think in 10 years you will see more talent in the MLS, NBA, MLB and less in college football/NFL because of parents keeping their kids out of football and pushing them to other sports. Now the deep south is probably different but I'm just going by my experience here in Columbus Ohio.
