There is no $$$ in soccer in the US plain and simple.

You can bring an entire army of trainers from france and spain to train the americans starting at 3 and 4 years old but it will not make a difference (well maybe a little bit)....but the us will never, ever, ever win a world cup...ever...The us will never have a fifa ranking higher than top 3 ever....I MEAN NEVER EVER!!!

And even with the immigrant factor, it's not the same as soccer because the majority of top immigrant baseball players come from places like the Dominican Republic and Cuba where baseball is the national sport. So those countries unicorns are playing baseball, not soccer.
