it is with the women but not with men, men here mostly like NFL Football (Handegg to the world), Baseball, Basketball, and Hockey ALL more than Soccer (sorry force of habit), but I do agree, it's about time the USA got better in soccer, I mean we do have a huge population so there's gotta be a lot of talent out there SOMEWHERE! Hell I even think colleges around the USA prefer soccer programs over handegg programs because it's cheaper to maintain and recruit for I guess. So there's GOT to be some great talent out there!
