We have over 300 million people in this country and some of the world's greatest athletes. There's no reason why we can't dominate in soccer.I think the only thing holding the USA back from becoming a real powerhouse is coaching. If we could get some real quality management like Gus Hiddink or possibly Jurgen Klinsman, I think we'd make huge improvements. Rongen is a good example of what happens when we get a quality coach.
I don't think it will. I wish it would become, but it won't. The 20 year olds are really good now, better then even brazil, but the brazilians will go to leagues like the EPL, Italia Seria A, French League, bundesliga etc. While we remain in the MLS. They will grow a lot faster while we grow slowly because of no new challenges. So USA MNT is always going to not be a superpower until MLS grows and there are more fans. Which might be in 10, 20, even 30 years.
@shadowmwo hahahahahah give me a break please it's just a friendly match, Ok we loose it but it's not a big thing, for the USA it's difficult to improve your soccer cause you always plays against guatemala, costa rica, jamaica xD who knows those countries in football meanwhile, we play against Brazil, uruguay, argentina great difference you can't compared the experiece with level, but being imparcial your are improving and that's good for you guys regards.

Why is Brian Ching playing as our striker for the senior squad when we could have Jozy Altidore?
