I don know, maybe there are not enough talented players, maybe they do not try hard enough, maybe players from other countries are more determined, maybe they drink too much. However, it could be due to poor academy standards. Many players go through the youth system only to get told that they are too small even when standing at heights like 5'10 and sometimes 6'0 in the case of goalkeepers. The general message seems to be "You can teach football, but you can't teach athleticism", with main emphasis being placed on physical strength, height and speed irrespective usually of skill. The England under 19s squad is a good example of this with the average height being roughly 6'1. Whereas, in countries like Argentina players who are of small stature can nevertheless succeed. Lionel Messi had hormone deficiencies and at 14 was only 4'6. Even now he's 5'9 I think. That's my opinion though, too much emphasis on height and strength, not enough emphasis on footballing ability.

No, it is far from A rubbish sport, it is a great and demanding sport. The general US consensus on Soccer is; that it is merely a great exercise type sport for American Kids till they play the superior sport of football, like they always do. Football is in the American DNA. That is why European "football" is really only good for Europeans and the South Americans that British Soldiers brought Soccer/Football to.

While you may think that this is the case, many other people enjoy playing and supporting soccer.

Statistically football (in the USA Soccer) is the most watched sport globally

1. Soccer / Association Football 3.5 Billion

2. Cricket 2.5 Billion

3. Field Hockey 2 Billion

4. Tennis 1 Billion
