Because the vast majority of kids who play soccer move on to basketball, baseball, or football once they turn 11 or 12. Soccer is seen as a sport for women and small children in the United States. And Colombia has some great players, they made the quarterfinals of the last World Cup. There's no shame in losing to them.
literally the college system
german kids are already playing vs grown men and top level players before they hit 20 while your best players have to play vs shitters in college until theyre 23
its like if you had kids who grew up playing in the nfl theyd destroy kids who grew up in your normal system. iron sharpens iron innit la
Nobody takes it seriously. Soccer is a sport for little kids, girls, and Mexicans here.

they'd be legit ded. football is a gozillion times more physical than soccer m8, there's a good reason you have to be three years removed from high school to be eligible for the NFL

If a 17-year old tried playing in the NFL, he would literally die.

i do agree with you generally though that the ncaa system is bad for soccer development in the us
We put all out a athlete points into creating a race of giga niggas who have the physical ability to play football and basketball but don't have the mental capacity to play baseball, hockey, or soccer. That's why we imports Canadians, Finns, and Swedes to play hockey, while importing central Americans to play baseball.

They're not good.
No real youth system. Player's dads and highschool coaches aren't enough
how America is not bored of playing with states against each other and not against Europe teams in some International league.
if they create soccer teams at the level of Patriots,Cowboys,Yankees,Lakers they can compete against the top elite Euro teams.
All the top athletes in America are going to choose one of the big three American sports to play instead of going for soccer because of both the social prestige and the money

These are the correct answers.
Because the goats of football have been manlets, the shorter the better
The fast strong negroes that make up the bulk of american athletes do not have the technical skill required to play the game, theyre trains going at full speed.
You cant ask a train to stop, turn, run, then repeat over and over again over 90 mins.
Theyre made to go fast, then stop for a while (commercial break) then once theyve recuperated, they do it again
