The irony about men's soccer struggling to grow in the United States is that it's the exact same problem that any women's sports team has ever experienced on a global scale, except for in the world of soccer. And soccer is huge basically anywhere else in the world. And so they see themselves as this underdog in a country that should be able to succeed, but they can't because no one cares about them. There's no one really going to soccer games. The community in the US is so, so small. They're looking for equality and funding and people to quite literally just give a shit about it. The problem with men's sports in the United States is that at the youth level, there is football, there's baseball, there's a hundred other men's sports that are more prominent. Where women's sports shine is soccer is the prominent sport. Men's soccer documentary about going into the FIFA World Cup this year was just so funny because in the first five minutes, they literally explained the struggle of women's sports. The only difference is women's sports has now actually figured it out and people do give a shit about it, and people do go to games and sell out the stadiums and arenas. They're acting like they don't know the answer to this uphill battle when all they have to do is ask the women's teams, and they can tell you how to do it.
