No one in the US gives a shit about soccer. Even when they got to the quarters in 2002, reruns of baseball games were getting higher ratings. I know you all seem to think we don't care because we suck, but the truth is we suck because we don't care.
Our best athletes don't play soccer. They play basketball, football, or baseball. The kids that play soccer usually end up being the ones that couldn't handle football or had protective parents who wouldn't allow them to play. I'd argue that it's the 6th choice in terms of what a kid ends up playing.
If our best athletes didn't play football, baseball, and basketball, we'd be holding that trophy every 4 years.
