[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Costa Rica has fewer than 5 million people and still can manage to qualify for the World Cup. I think it has to do with kids watching soccer and playing pick up games everyday that makes the difference. I have to pay if I want my 7 year old to [/quote] The rest of the world has limited resources (so they flock to the sport with one piece of equipment), and very limited other options (baseball, basketball, football, lacrosse, hockey, etc, etc). [b]I am very confident that if the US had the same focus on soccer that we would be among the elite in the world, but luckily this will never happen because we have so many other great things to focus on. Long story short - other countries are great at soccer because they have to be - we aren't great at it because we don't have to be. [/b] [/quote] Great points, PP, that put it in perspective.
