When did the game of soccer come to the US?

Answer 1

Football was the first choice sport in most universities on the east coast of the USA.

After playing football for many years US coaches became upset that US athletes struggled with the technical side of the sport. They decided to invent a more basic sport using their hands called gridiron.

Football continues to be the first choice sport for millions of americans. But their remains a frustration that the best athletes in the USA have never been able to meet the high standards set by footballers.
