USA Home Games Don't Feel Like Home


I said before that it's tough for fútbol fans residing in the U.S. But it’s tougher for the members of the national team. Every time they play Mexico, most of the fans at the stadium are Mexican supporters.

But fútbol is growing. Several exceptional players are starting to capture the attention of
millions of U.S. fans.
Landon Donovan is one of them. The L.A. Galaxy midfielder is the emblem of American “soccer.”

The future looks promising. There are younger players like Freddy Adu and “Jozy” Altidore. These talented men, with a bigger support from the American society and more serious coverage from the media could take U.S. “soccer” to the next level. Look what you are missing!

It doesn't help that when the US plays Mexico they usually do so in border states like California and Texas. While this probably increases attendance ... it also increases the number of Mexican fans.
