ITeam USA Coach Bob Bradley released the complete 23 man
roster he's taking to South Africa for the World Cup. Stalwarts Landon
Donovan, Tim Howard and Carlos Bocanegra will make the trip along with some
new faces. Herculez Gomez and Edson Buddle will be making their first trips
to the World Cup. Buddle scored 10 goals in Major League Soccer so far this
season. Gomez plays in the Mexican League.
In 1994, when the U.S. hosted the World Cup, soccer was the rage for about
three months. It was a great spectacle and still is one. Every four years,
countries come together to play soccer. Governments call for ceasefire if
there's a conflict. It's truly a time when countries are solely focused on
how their team does in the World Cup. It should be like that in the U.S.
too. Youth soccer is the most played sport for kids. It's easy to set up and
parents aren't burdened by the high costs. Yet, soccer's never been fully
embraced by Americans.
Yes, Pele played in New York in the 1970s, but those stadiums were more than
half empty. The MLS is gaining traction by having local stars like Donovan
and Brian Ching play well in front of home crowds. The catch is, in order to
be a great player, you can't expect to develop in the U.S. league. Jozy
Altidore, Howard Clint Dempsey all play in European leagues. Donovan went
over there and found out how much fun it is playing with better talent
around him. Howard started with Manchester United, but is now on loan to
Everton.
The MLS teams must establish soccer schools now and most have, but it's
going to take time before they can develop the best talent in the world. For
now, they'll have to settle for European Club soccer. Every four years
though, the best players come together and it provides some of the best
spectacle in sports. Root for Team USA, they'll have a great chance at
getting very deep in the tournament
