300 million people in the US
I don't know how to do it (and the USSF certainly doesn't), but if we manage to open the spigot to as many possible at the youth level, we will end up where we should be as a footballing nation.
Until then the number is closer to 30 million, and they're softer compared to the grinders we play in international competition.
