I remember playing soccer back in my youth. I remember it being a fun sport, and wondered why it wasn't more popular than it was in my teen years. It wasn't until my early twenties that I realized it wasn't popular in this country because of two little facts.

1: Our MLS soccer teams in this country suck. (We seriously had to outsource to Britain to gain notoriety for our teams)
2: The overwhelming majority fear the sport thinking it's some communist ploy.

Regardless, the world around us is evolving the sport faster than we can keep up. So, with that in mind, if we started training like Belgium does, I think the USA could make some great strides in the worlds most popular sport.
