If anything I am a little surprised at how few recent immigrants (e.g. Latinos, Africans, Arabs) are there. I figured the whole squad would be first and second generation immigrants who had the soccer culture from the old country but the nutrition and weight training of the USA.

Like I have said a million times, we don't have a *culture* around soccer here, the passion that other countries have. Our athletes are more than adequate, even given that the top athletes may not pursue the sport in favor of basketball or football or whatever. Are you going to tell me that Uruguay or Croatia produces better athletes than even our B or C team? No way. It isn't about that. We have athletes, what we don't have are *players*
