Get a United States Flag T Shirt
At present the USA league is not as big as the German, French, Italian or Spanish or English leagues. And none of the clubs are as big as the biggest clubs in the Scottish, Dutch, or Portuguese leagues. But my amazing prediction is that it will have the biggest league soon. We all learn in the seventies that the NASL did not reach the potential many thought it would reach. But I feel the cause of soccer not taking off was that their was not a demographic base in America. Now their is a a big Hispanic population in the USA, that is growing every year. These people have arrived from central and south America, and to them soccer is the sport. In the seventies there was not a major base like this. And you cannot impose a new sport on a a culture that already has developed a sport culture with American football, baseball, basketball, and ice hockey. One of the only ways to introduce a new sport is new population form migration. Just like where with the Welsh rugby developed due to migration from cornwall.
The Hispanic population in America is now about 50 million. So that already has the population that is likely to be interested in soccer as the major sport, competing with the population of any major football nation in Europe.
Already major league soccer, is bringing in news teams from Hispanic area such as Chivas USA from LA. There is another team in LA, and Dallas, and San Jose, so already the Spanish American areas are getting alot of the sides. I predict football will be the strongest in the south, and California, where the Hispanic populations are growing. California will be the football centre, at first, and within two decades there will be football sides of the size of a typical premiership club. And this will snowball across America, so that big teams will grow in all the other major US cities like baseball franchises and ice hockey franchises. Big teams will easily grow in New York, Chicago, and all the other big cities in the north east. Then international playing quality will start to play in the USA. So Scottish and English, and Welsh teams will be packed with American side staff. All the best coaches will go to the USA. Within another two decades the Hispanic population will be even larger, so that soccer will be an even larger sport. Canada will then by default become interested in soccer too. Then we will all watch the soccer play off final in the USA.
This is why I feel if anyone does want to make mlong term money in football they should invest in a Southern or Californian USA city.
