America's biggest problem with soccer is the way they develop youth is completely ass backwards, most of the world gets their talented youth in pro camps, getting pro level training at an extremely young age(11-12 years old). Until the US adopts that model, nothing will change.

I will also add that the US does not really support sports they didn't invent(baseball, NFL) or dominate(NBA). That's a big problem as well.
Why are they able to do well in woman’s soccer?

They have the same system as the boys

American football is not popular outside of America and basketball is no where near the popularity of football.


Football is the most popular sport in the world.

CR7 and Messi are known across the world more than MJ or LeBron.

Basketball & football are still better and more exciting

they dont :manny:

You're comparing apples to oranges

The USA is one if the few countries until recently that had developed sports program for girls and soccer has been seen as a girl sport.

The depth I'm talent, skill, and experience is nowhere near men's soccer

4-5 good women's teams. The rest are horrific.

Honestly American soccer is a sport that caters to suburban white kids. Those kids lack any athletic talent. Think about it, what’s the stereotypical soccer parent? A white lady in a minivan. They charge too much and there’s no appeal in urban environments. If you pushed the sport more in the hood and actually showed more incentives then you would get better athletes and talent. Back when baseball appealed to the urban youths that was the peak of baseball. Now? Not so much.

US doesn't suck at soccer. We are a middle of the pack team, just like England :russ:

This is also true. The notion that the US 'sucks' at soccer is a misnomer. Not making the WC in a shyt confederation is a bit of a blight, but they're around 20th-30th the world, which isn't too bad for a sport that fights with competitive bass fishing and bowling for relevance in the country

Everybody outside the US has a youth program and we have the draft/college model. Most of these nikkas have been pros since they were 10,11. Barcelona signed Messi when he was like 7 you just can't compete with that and soccer is a sport where you don't have to be a great athlete so the more training you have with the best teammates possible the better you will be.

Breh that dude is literally retarded. No one gives a fukk about American football outside of North America. Basketball and baseball are popular in pockets outside of North America. People don't care about American sports like that.
