depends on the competition though too..if the kid is that fast early he'll dominate every field sport.
Why isn't there a single great soccer player from the US?

Only if he gets touched. Speed kills.
this is why im asking these questions
soccer heads are quick to state something to big up their sport while belittling otherz
then when challenge refuse to respond
see @phillycavsfan (got no come back for US women dominance >>> )
That's basically what I'm saying. He'll shyt on cats in football faster than he would in soccer.
quickness kills in football more than straight line speed...way more. It's instincts and quickness...a lot of track athletes dont have that.
meh. it'd be marginal. An athlete at that age dominates everything he touches for the most part unless he's uncoordinated.
You're deluded. I wrote an entire response, and your rebuttal was "Well see I don't believe that shyt."
I can't debate with the willfully ignorant.
1.) That isnt all that surprising, every league has been able to negotiate well above market value. Wait till the NBA gets its turn.

The article basically states that while the contract was a huge win for the MLS, but also a huge gamble- With respect to its recent nosedive in ratings.
2.) Yea, soccer participation didn't fall 'as much' as basketball or football, but that is a poor argument. Soccer and its popularity is still largely in its infancy phase for much of American market. Any decline in participation for the sport would be prove far more detrimental to its popularity than the more established brands in the states...

Still, you just have to look at the numbers to see that not all is well. According to a global survey by FIFA, women made up for less than 1% of the two million registered soccer players in Brazil in 2006—they don’t even appear to have done a more recent study on women’s participation in soccer. In comparison, almost 40% of the registered players in the U.S. were women. While in the U.S., the majority of the players were under age 18, in Brazil the opposite happened. The U.S. had six times more women’s soccer clubs in 2006.
How can Brazil, a country that lives and breathes soccer, shut out girls like this?
“The problem is purely cultural,” says Luciane Castro, a sports journalist and member of a commission formed by Brazil’s sports ministry in 2012 to find ways to improve the visibility of women’s soccer in the country.
“We live in a macho society, where not only men, but also women, including mothers, tell girls at a young age that soccer is a boy’s thing.” Ironically, Brazilian women made up 53% of the country’s viewership of the 2010 World Cup.
“The problem with women’s soccer in Brazil is lack of infrastructure and investment, not only at the national level, but also locally,” said Daiane Bagé, a member of Brazil’s national team, who saw many friends at Santos become unemployed overnight.
Even in a more developed country like England, women were banned from playing soccer until 1971.

cuz soccer needs an actual culture.......
Basically, once black kids start taking this shyt seriously, its a wrap.
USA training resources are unmatched by most of the world.
Soccer is probably the most fun team sport you can play second to basketball (due to how many people actually can affect the course of the game)Americans play fun sports
Not enough kids playing in the streets.
