I'm aware that USA soccer isn't ish compared to the Brazils, Frances, Spains, Englands, and Italies of the world. But, it's kinda harsh to come down on american soccer enthusiasts who see their team and their sport slightly on the rise in this country. More and more USA talent is playing overseas, including Oguchi Onyewu, who is playing for AC Milan this year. Tim Howard (pictured) played in the EPL with Manchester United and continues to play in that league with Everton. There are other prominent USA players that are playing abroad including: Clint Dempsey (MF)Fulham; Carlos Bocanegra (D) Fulham; Brian McBride (F) Fulham; Michael Bradley (MF)Heerenveen; Freddy Adu (MF-F)Benfica; and DaMarcus Beasley (MF-F) Rangers. This proves that US soccer is improving, because the premier soccer leagues are not in the United States.
As I stated earlier and Los agreed, the major thing holding US soccer back is the country's athletes. All of them are interested in other sports. If our best athletes continue to choose other sports of interest, US soccer will continue to suffer.
