kick around a huge ball of duct tape. They don't need fancy-pants club soccer. They have national passion. I am not saying a country like that has a better soccer program than the U.S. does, but if you were control for resources, population, etc., they probably do. Because again--their poor kids are out kicking a ball while our fat little kids are playing computer games, or building legos, or any number of other hobbies and time spenders that don't involve soccer.

Again, it is what it is. All I am saying is the U.S. doesn't have the passion to take it to the next level.
