Soccer in America

As the last week of blogging is here, I wanted to sum up the purpose of my blog. In the last couple of decades, soccer has been growing more and more on America. It is obviously not at the popularity level that other sports like football, baseball, and hockey are, but it is growing. People in the U.S. now actually now when the world cup is and they might even watch a couple of games. Over the years, great soccer players have tried to bring the popular game to U.S., players like Pele, Beckham and Valderrama, who are among the world's greatest ever, come to U.S. to play and try and popularize the sport. Through my blog I try to do some of the same, try to bring soccer news to my peers so that they will be informed and maybe even start liking the sport. The U.S. system for youth soccer is great, and has currently much of the worlds best 14-16 year olds. Although most of these kids are not American, they will probably obtain American citizenship and will some day maybe play for the U.S. team. Who knows, maybe in the future the U.S. team will be one of the best teams...
