i am torn as to if there is a true american superstar if the sports media in this country notices in a market place already crowded with football, basketball, and baseball.
old enough to remember way back in the day of owenby stadium, kyle rote, and the dallas tornado's. i have heard the talk about the number of young kids who play soccer and how the sports we watch in the us will change as they get older and we are 2 generations removed, but last time i checked the big 3 are still the big still.
houston has a ton of kids who play soccer, international games fill at 60,000+ seat stadium, mexican league doubleheaders will drop more than double the norm for a dynamo game, and there is barely any notice among the local media.
if christian becomes a star in england does it really change things in the us? the mls in with over the hill euro's dominating is similar to me in guys like pele', georgie best, etc....coming to the nasl
