Interesting.. The dutch commentator talked about the lack of competitive games for Team USA.. Other teams always play games (tournament/ qualifying) for like the World Cup, European Cup, Coppa America or African Cup of Nations.. Making it more difficult for the USA to reach the next level..

The US can't reach the next level because its best athletes don't play soccer.

Look at two of the greatest American athletes...

Jim Brown - football, basketball, track & field, lacrosse

Bo Jackson - football, baseball, track & field

Modern athletes like LeBron James (basketball, football) and Adrian Peterson (football, basketball, track & field) also never played soccer.

What's this soccer thing? Does it really matter if they play it, if they all already play football? :P

But it's true that your league sucks really bad. I'm sure not a single team would make it to the Champions League in years.

Blame England, because that's where the term soccer came from. Association football
