Alternatively, indoor soccer is very fast moving and higher scoring. No offsides rules and player subs are handled like hockey. It can be very exciting for sure.

USA vs Wales... tie (1-1).

Rotten performance against Wales. As expected

They'd have to time a game like that with a calendar.

Totally disagree. Wales is a world class team, the Welsh are born playing soccer whereas the Americans are new to the game and held their own. I am sure the US team are buying talent, but with all the Hispanics settling here now things should change in the future.

LOL! nothing to do with immigrants. . or hispanics. . in reverse, that would be like saying football would take off where there are so many US expats. . . . The real reason in the US is that there are so many alternative sports/activities in the US, and with the marketing power of football and beer overwhelms soccer.

For a vast part of the world, soccer is the way out of poverty, not the case here in north america. College football is the trade school for the NFL. College is similar for soccer, but its a world game, unlike football, baseball, ice hockey, lacrosse, basketball, which are primarily north American sports. . with true world sport, you see 10 year olds playing soccer in the streets all over the world. .

Here in the villages, at the villages soccer club, there is the father of the USWNT coach who won the world cup, he came from england as a coach and wrote the US junior training manuals with child psychologists. . . he turned pro at like 16. He did that in like the 70s. . . that's been plenty of time in this sized country to develop a program. . .

The other issue is that former players don't always make the best coaches. . and getting good coaches for younger children is an expensive proposition at this point. . . .
