The majority of those guys won't ever play for a national team or be on billboards but they leave it all out there on the pitch and I like it.

The facts are Canvasback, the US is going to get better at soccer, we're going to finally have the marketable players FROM THE US getting exposure: Johnson, Donovan, Adu, Altidore, Cooper, Mapp, and Bradley in the MLS, and when guys like Dempsey flourish overseas we'll take note of it and be proud of it. All those players will build on the MLS and make it worth it.

As our national team goes so goes the intrest in soccer....the US National team is getting better and the new coach (albeit not the best but he's good) will make our team better. I think soccer will be doing VERY well in the US when the next Cup comes around.

Have a cc Lyle you make some great points there dude i agree with alot of what you say. But give it times and you never know.
