Many sports draw the attention of boys around the USA.
Baseball, Soccer, Football(not as much), lacrosse, basketball.
In many parts of he world, there's only soccer. That's it. It's also a cheap sport to play. You only need a ball.
I think the singular focus on one youth sport drives a lot of the reason we lag. Our best athletes are not all playing soccer unlike many other places. The usa is also JUST getting on the youth academy train that professional European teams have been doing for years, decades.
Those teams are starting to mine the talent in the USA.
