Message: [QUOTE="All4SU, post: 1758611, member: 381"] Old fart here. Can't stand baseball, but I will go to an occasional game just to be outside, enjoying a beer with good company. Love soccer. But agree that soccer in the US has a big uphill climb. IMHO this will only change when we have many BIG homegrown names. Pele' wasn't going to get it done. A Landon Donovan alone is not enough. A Tim Howard or two. People, largely kids, need to be able to recognize the players on sight, know their names, who they play for. And our best players play overseas. A big World Cup showing would help develop player identity, but it would take more than that. It's a chick or egg situation. The game is not the problem. [/QUOTE]
