Ya in the USA, soccer is Pay to Play so only kids with rich parents get chance for success in the sport.. Mohammad Salah trained on dirt fields growing up and now look at him. In the US, you have to pay thousands every year to let your kid play on a team which means actual talent never makes it through unless their parents make some crazy sacrifices. Disgusting the barrier to play on of the most cheapest sports to play in the world.
North American soccer should have built up at the state level, Have state regional leagues, the top teams from which qualify for a Champion's league type format for the whole of America. America is too vast for just one league. Football is ultimately a grass roots game that builds up at a local level. Plus US soccer needed to be the sport of the poor. it shouldn't have tried to emulate the franchises you see in the big American sports. It should have set up clubs in the poorest areas, and offered subsidized tickets for the poor. Ultimately soccer is the poor man's game. or at least that's how it started out in Europe and Latin America.
Brazil, China, Russia and India have a national league why do Americans like deluding themselves that they are somehow special? The truth is American will never be the best league in the world with the pay to play system that makes soccer a very white sport in the USA and stops the best athletes playing soccer if they come from a poor family
