Yeah it makes it harder for us to be the best of the best, but there aren’t excuses for us soccer to be this bad. There is plenty of athletic talent that could and would prioritize soccer.

You don't get it do you? We just don't care enough. Very few kidd dream of being a ****ing soccer star. They'd get laughed at. In other countries soccer is god. The top tier talent is simply oversaturating the big 3 sports because those are tye ones kids dream of playing. These breeds levels of competition down to early playing levels onward and up. Competition brings this out in the other sports that we dominate.
