Will it though? What do you think it is that keeps USA Men’s soccer from doing better? 

A plethora (lol) of things.  Throughout US soccer's history we've had other sports that absorb talent that could make the US dominate soccer.  Imagine some the NFL, NBA, MLB and etc players playing soccer their whole lives instead of football, basketball and such.  Over the past 20 years some of these guys have started to play soccer. The past US teams had the drive to win but not the skill.  Only now do we have actual talent to compete with the big boys.  In other countries, the youth soccer programs are free.  The kids play soccer in the streets like we do basketball and football.  In the US most of the soccer associations are in well off areas.  We don't really have a soccer players playing in the lower income areas.  Competitive soccer is historically expensive to play in the US.

In 2026, our dudes will be 4 years older.  The majority of our starters play for competitive teams in Eruope.  We will have the experience to go with the drive and talent.  We are going to start winning World Cups in the near future.  Also,  the 2026 World Cup is in the US.  Add a new manager, a good CB and a striker that can finish consistently and we will have a good team in 2026.

These are some of the things  holding us back, not everything.

Uh, not quite. . .

Maybe in some demographics, but soccer isn't exactly figure skating or the biathlon. 

If anything, we need to start taking some cues from them. Imagine the Cleveland Browns or Jacksonville Jaguars getting relegated from the NFL!

Pretty sure we are all back to not caring about this sport for another 4 years.

Someday, you too will bow down to soccer.  We will prance all over your NFL stadiums and flop down your NHL rinks.  We march (again, more like a prance) through the baseball fields.  We will never surrender!   

Field Fairies por vida!
