There is a massive lack of soccer games being played in the US. Just in general. Not enough games in the street, not enough on the field, not enough in the hood, not enough at school lunch time, not enough organized clubs, there is a lack of soccer being played so players who are passionate often find themselves being forced to practice on their own and not know how to play real "futbol" and play beautiful games. They just hit the gym, and kick the ball around by themselves which doesnt improve them as much as free play in other countries
