As many of you readers know I've been trying to come up with reasons for why European and American soccer differs so greatly. I asked Kevin this yesterday afternoon and here is what he had to say (paraphrased of course):
The difference between America and Europe is that those players in Europe grow up solely playing soccer whereas in America, youngsters are exposed to a variety of sports including baseball, basketball, hockey, lacrosse, etc. Furthermore, Alston went on to make a very valid and interesting point - America may not have the best soccer players but they certainly have the greatest athletes.
