Not the men any time soon. Soccer has become THE woman's sport in the US, thanks to Title IX and suburban culture taking an interest and creating club teams. Soccer will not be able to siphon male athletes from basketball and football because that's where the glory and money lives. Fans in the US want dunks, bombs, and big hits. To most of them, and me, soccer is too much running around, not scoring, and falling down acting hurt over nothing. Too much would have to change.
Short answer: this team doesn't have the offense.
