ESPN asked him when the U.S. would be as competitive as other nations. His response was that when he went to other countries, little kids were playing soccer in the streets and alleys and back yards. He said when we see that happening all over the place in the U.S., then the U.S. will be as competitive. I went to a very large High School, (graduated in the early 70's) and we had Football, Basketball, Women's basketball, Wrestling, Baseball, Women's softball, Gymnastics, Track and field, Cross Country, Golf, Women's field hockey, womens powder puff football, and a tennis team. We had all of that, and no soccer. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/cry.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cry:" title="Cry    :cry:" data-shortname=":cry:" />But I think the U.S. is making a lot more headway today in soccer than "back in the day".</blockquote>
