Soccer is less expensive everywhere.

Do all countries on every continent have a common shared secret they're keeping from just us?[/quote]
It’s no secret. Soccer is just more popular there. By a lot. [/quote]

Where is there? The Globe 🌎

What are all these millions of kids playing on Saturdays and Sundays in America?[/quote]
Basketball & Football. Drive around most neighborhoods in the US and you’ll see those two sports being played far more than soccer in pickup games, at school recess, in backyards and driveways. Basketball and football are what kids watch on TV, buy jerseys and shoes of their favorite teams and players. It doesn’t mean soccer isn’t played here it just isn’t the #1 or even the #2 most popular. And that translates into dollars available. In the US every sport outside football, basketball, and maybe baseball is a niche sport which means high cost and pay to play[/quote]
