In reply to the discussion: World Cup 2022 [View all]peacebuzzard
(5,270 posts)37. Not sure about that malaise,
money means quite a bit to top notch players; but the top soccer stars would be reluctant to play in a country like the U.S. with low interest in the sport and low support group.
If a soccer club finances just one soccer star, it would be hard on that one lone player. They would have to buyout a whole team...that would run into the megabillions. I don't think the U.S. is there for this sport.
