like we don't turn our backs to dope up our baseball players, football players, hockey players.. and they are not dishonest faking injuries , trying to get penalties.. or draw penalties like basketball or hockey. soccer is big time with kids tons of travel teams, lots of parental support however it seems to die out quickly. the kids do not appear to bring this game forward , a good example would be americans getting knocked out in first round. A country the size of the united states cannot even draw a few top talented soccer players from earlier childhood to compete in world soccer. soccer is a contact sport i was amazed at the head hits, body slams without major protection. at least they could start to wear helmets.. nah!
