Wow... mind blown... I thought Soccer was invented by the americans since the name Football was already taken in America by a sport played with the hands

Anyway let them call it whatever they want, as long as America get into football thats OK for me. I would be a huge benefit for CONCACAF and CONMEBOL. I really wish one day we could see a LIbertadores Cup with the best CONCACAF team from Mexico and USA> Way better than play against 3rd best (worst?) team from Bolivia on 4000 meter altitude. 

 The term soccer originated in England, first appearing in the 1880s as an Oxford "-er"abbreviation of the word "association"

Moving on now, I think we're a few years away from really pushing in international competitions.  Mexican sides still rule in NA, and until that changes doubt US or Canadian sides will be in Libertadores. As a side not excited about Copa America in US as should be a great tournament.

Its all about the money. And I really admire the capacity americans have of turning things into very lucrative business. Football WILL be huge in USA. They know how to do things and how to make money with it. With money comes good players, a good League and soon they will realize that its better to play against big traditional teams. They will 1) be invited to participate in CHampions League or 2) join with CONMEBOL and create Libertadores Cup 2.0. The same goes for National Cups.

Im hoping for the second option
