    Love the deflection to bashing women's sports. That is not the topic. When the best youth male athletes in this country start playing soccer, get back to us. Until then, this impression will remain unchanged.

      Sorry but it's the time of year that I reflect on the things that I'm thankful for. You reminded me about how fortunate I am to have boys.

        Please let us know in which sport to place our boys such that they aren't considered "dweebs". Better yet, let us know which sport you played growing up, so that we know it's acceptable and manly enough. You seem like a great role model, so I really want my kids following in your footsteps.

          I feel like we've beat this topic to death already. Remember the point that's been made over and over again, that it takes different athletic skills (and mental skills, for that matter) to be good a different sports. An great linebacker will not have the necessary athletic skills to be a great soccer player, and vice versa. How do you know that the men playing at the highest level of soccer in this country right now aren't the ones with the best athletic traits to play soccer? If your answer is that they suck compared to the rest of the world, it's easily pointed out that we have a terrible development system and coaching pool, so of course these athletes are not going to compete well with those from other countries with better systems.

            The best soccer players in this country are playing soccer and are incredible athletes. Our issue has never been athleticism. Our Men's team plays very athletic soccer. The issue has always and continues to be a lack of technical skill, a slower speed of play, and not enough creativity. All three issues are due to our development model and coaching staff and have nothing to do with the athletes.

            Not to beat a dead horse, but a 7ft tall basketball forward will not be a world class soccer player. A 300lb Linebacker will not be a world class soccer player. There are some Wide receivers and track and field sprinters who have the pace to be world-class forwards, but again, pace is not our issue: technical skill and cognitive understanding of the patterns of the game at a world class speed is.

                Americans favor sports that allow the participants to be doughy. That's why soccer isn't popular. It's hard. There's no real break is soccer for Americans to catch their breath.

                    Very glad to see that somebody on this site actually watches a match.
                    Should be 3-0 Liverpool at half.

                            Fat linemen. Chubby pitchers. Whistles every 30 seconds to stop play. Timeouts in all sports. A hockey shift is mere minutes. Americans need a lot of breaks.

                              At least it’s played in this country. Y’all are watching replays from some other country and since you are watching it from so far it’s pretty clear you weren’t good enough to make it wherever you came from so who has had the longer break?
