In my posts about the U.S.-Mexico game I made some comments about the country of Mexico itself which I regret. I apologize for them.
But people have said that the Mexican players didn't shake hands because they felt disrespected... that's all the American team wants, too!
You see, the truth is, the American soccer program isn't bad at all... certainly nowhere near the top, like Italy/Germany/Brazil/England/Argentina, etc... but they're not BAD! The U.S. team is probably in the middle of the pack in terms of talent. Yet most soccer fans outside America try to paint this picture of the American team being THE WORST in the world! American players just want respect, just as the Mexican players did.
2 points soccer fans outside of America must consider:
1.) The American soccer program HAS gotten better over time, especially recently.
2.) With such a large talent pool (300 million people here) America will get better and better, and in 10 or so years will have a VERY good team!
