Don't think that soccer isn't big here. It is and has been for years. Media coverage is what it really needs.

I can't remember if I mentioned this last time we spoke about soccer in the US but I've been a coach for some years and one of my friends got soccer contacts in the US so I was offered a job as coach in the NY area. Can't remember which club but I said no thank you. My friend took a job and he's now on a 2 months vacation in the US every year with every paid by the club and he does what he loves all day long, play soccer with people who has the same interest.
Sometimes I wish I was better at kicking myself in the nuts.
2 months paid vacation with soccer each year.
