מה קרה

The article says the U.S. men’s soccer team keeps underperforming despite MLS growth, because the sport is expensive, culturally marginal for boys, and affected by bias against Americans. It argues that a strong 2026 World Cup at home could help change that.

• 01The U.S. men have reached the World Cup quarterfinals only once in eight editions.
• 02Youth soccer is expensive enough to exclude many lower-income American families.
• 03Soccer in the U.S. is still strongly associated with women and girls.
• 04Players like Pulisic and McKennie say Americans face bias abroad.
• 05A good 2026 World Cup could boost soccer’s popularity in the United States.
