Start caring. Do you know why our women's team won the World Cup? Because football is considered a woman's sport.

Our best athletes grow up playing basketball and football. Lebron James is 203 cms, 112kg, and he can run 40 yds in 4.6 seconds. He's as fast as most soccer players. Imagine if he grew up playing soccer instead of basketball? What about Kobe Bryant?

We were going to lose regardless. The absence of Wood, Jones and to a lesser extent Bedoya gimped us pretty badly. Most likely would've been 3-1 if we weren't gimped.

Everyone where I grew up played soccer as kids, but once we reached high school the vast majority of us stopped.

There's just not generally a strong sense of community or of athleticism needed for local amateur clubs, and those are pretty necessary for major clubs to exist. The only major soccer players have to go through the university route, and that just isn't accessible for enough people.

Most Americans don't live in an area where they can just walk a few minutes to a field for a pickup game. It's a definite shame.

Teenagers think soccer is gay and don't want anything to do with it. They want to play basketball football and even baseball waaaaay more than soccer.

Yeah, the youth here just don't like soccer. I grew up playing every year in youth programs, and even first two years of high school, but it was only for fun, none of us really cared for it. We pretty much only cared for football and basketball.

You would need some soccer players to really burst onto the scene and make the sport "cool" here, akin to how basketball/football players are perceived. Guys who make/spend a bunch of money, are surrounded by hot women, have tons of fame etc. It would need to be televized more, but you have a catch-22 with all that. The only thing I can think of is giving more scholarships.

Among other things the US needs a star player kids can look up to and be the face of US soccer. Donovan was kind of like that for a while but nobody's taken his place after he left. Memes aside that is one of the reasons I'm really hoping Christian Pulisic continues to improve at Dortmund and eventually becomes a regular starter at top-tier club. Can you imagine the story if that kid manages to become a top player on an elite team before he's even old enough to drink? I realize that even in the unlikely case that that actually happens it would only make a small dent in the American sporting landscape but if it means a few less kids pick meme-chucking Steph Curry and cocky Cam Newton as their role models I'll consider it a victory.

Football is like the 8th or 7th most popular sport in the US, most people don't watch it or care about it and their fanbase is almost completely composed of children, kikes and hipsters. The US team is composed almost entirely by rejects of other sports, and all their best athletes prefer to play other sports than football.
And yet they're still able to be 4th in what is possible the second hardest continental competition in the world (the Copa America), even more than what my country manage to do.

When was the last time England was 4th in a football competition?

We need coaches at youth levels who are (and, importantly, actually able to be) more focused on decision making, tactics and technique vs pure athleticism and "hustle". A huge percentage of school coaches know nothing of the game, and are just shoehorned into the role because the school can't or won't hire a dedicated soccer coach.
