[quote=Anonymous]Setting aside national team caliber players, the big difference between soccer here and elsewhere is the aspirations. Much like other sports, many people here look at it as a path to college admissions and scholarships. In most other countries this is not an option and the path is to professional soccer. Colleges aren't going to fund a youth system, while professional clubs can. But it also means that it will be available to far fewer people, and requires an early decision (like 12, as some have suggested) to go the professional sports route rather than the university or even secondary school route.[/quote]
