the game in ever-increasing
numbers. Their parents still
won’t watch it on TV. Yet anoth
er plan to close the gap on the
rest of the world will be pro
posed, but the debate won’t be
loud or last very long after the
last ball has been kicked at this
World Cup.
That is both a blessing and a
curse. It has bought the U.S.
effort time — to benefit from the
development of a league of our
own, to benefit from the opportu
nities abroad afforded a few
Americans playing in the top
European leagues, time to scout,
nurture and forge emerging tal
ent into a cohesive unit.
But that lack of urgency is
why U.S. coach Bruce Arena
sounds conflicted much of the
time. He is astute enough to
know the impressive strides the
U.S. program has made in the
past dozen years. But he also
knows better than anybody else
how much further there is to go.
That is why one minute.
Arena will complain about a lack
of support, “The magnitude of
this event is not understood by
the American public.” Then,
quickly, he will catch himself
and say, “If I say anything, it
sounds like sour grapes.”
Arena understands what few of
his countrymen do. This team is
better — better prepared, better
coached, tougher, faster, more
skillful, experienced and commit-
ted — than any team the United
States has Fielded. But it will still
need luck to enlarge the small dent
it just registered in America’s
sporting consciousness.
Being a heavy underdog
against Portugal was one thing.
Catching a South Korean team
on the rebound from an emo
tional first win over Poland and
stoked by a chanting, flag-wav
ing hometown crowd is going to
be another.
