our elite athletes will choose basketball, football, and baseball before soccer every time

Elite athletes don’t matter, look at Messi. He looks like an 8th grade history teacher

And many can’t walk and chew gum at the same time but still get participation trophies. And then middle school arrives, and the real athletes abandon soccer and devote themselves to American sports.

All athletes need to start with soccer as Harbaugh advocated.

How many World Cup matches have you watched? How many of the best players on earth are somewhere between 5’7-5’11 and 145-170 lbs.
The answer is most of them. We don’t need the LeBrons of the world playing soccer and he’d probably suck at it outside of being developed as a keeper.
We need development for the masses of normal sized kids out there in a country as big as ours.

Seems like the team is young and talented. Not multiple top 100 players talented but enough to be respected. Today’s result hopefully fuels them in the future.

Which is stupid considering elite soccer players make way more than them

again, the best to ever play this sport wouldn’t raise eyebrows on the street in every major city in America. no, LeBron would never be good at this. no matter what you did

Our population provides us with the largest talent pool of the top 20 ranked teams in the world. The only 2 countries with larger population to pool from are China (#91) and India (139).
The problem is that we don't know how to use that talent pool effectively.
The elite of the elite athletes are always going to gravitate to football and basketball... depending on their physical makeup.
But those athletes aren't the right type of build for a top tier soccer player.
Quit focusing on those select few and look for the athletes that are just as athletic as the NFL and NBA talent, but don't have the physical makeup required.
Look for the athletic kids that have all the same abilities, but are too short and too small to play those sports at the highest level and turn them to soccer.
