| Why do people think USA is better than Mexico in soccer (footbal)?
We beat mexico more than they beat us. Think that is well documented.
As for the skill level difference you get no argument from me. The problem with american soccer players is that the sport isn't the only sport we play here. Soccer competes with baseball, football,basketball, and to some small extent hockey. What else does mEXICO HAVE BESIDES BASEBALL adn soccer? Soccer is also a sport that most regard here as not really a manly sport. I love it, but talk with many Irish, Italian, German first and second generation people and tell me how many know a soccer player outside of Pele or Beckham. The problem is kids don't stick with the game past a certain age gere because they have other options.
So the amercian player isn't on a championship la liga or premiership team? What does that have to do with anything? No one is going to tell you american players are more talented in the sport, if they do they are smoking something. You ever watch the red bulls? I want to poke out my eyes watching any game from that league. I am from New Jersey, i find it hard to root for them.  |
