It’s a Friday on Morning Kickaround and there’s a lot to discuss.
We open with high ratings for the U.S. Men’s National Team loss to Belgium. Was this a missed opportunity for our national team to further grow the game in this country? Was that stinker of a performance a missed opportunity for soccer in this country?
We then tackle an age-old question in American soccer: How do we fix that pay-to-play problem that American soccer seems to have. Why does youth soccer cost so much and how do we make the game accessible and affordable to more kids looking for quality coaching and quality competition? The answer is not nearly as simple as people would like.
In a related story, we have a soccer under construction segment about new venues in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
We conclude with American soccer being weird with gorilla mascots and we #DotTheMap with our newest MK Ultras.
You can now support the show on Ko-Fi!
