Soccer has the potential to, in 20, 30 years, maybe sooner, become one of the most elite level in terms of a commercial property in the United States.
It's really set up to succeed.
It's just going to take time.
The serious problems that soccer has are not, in my opinion, the pace of play.
It is flopping.
When they make me president of FIFA, I'm going to demand that anybody who is on the ground for more than 10 seconds, and if you're flopping, you're rolling, you're rolling, and it takes time, more than 10 seconds to get up, then you're on the sidelines for two minutes.
And then you'll see flopping stop.
Or post facto after a game, you're going to get a red card for the next game.
The tolerance that we give to player indulgences should stop.
And the U.S.
could do that.
The MLS is thinking about it.
If not so much picking up the pace of play because it's a running clock, not spending time watching drama unfold that isn't real drama.
There is plenty of good soccer drama for you.
I mean, even for me, I love the game, but I'm not a tactician.
It's a generation of kids who grew up playing it that are going to change the fortunes of the league.
I'm looking forward to this year because I'm a fan.
But next year is the Women's World Cup, and our women's national team is outstanding.
A lot of the kids in my program are girls, and I'm hoping that I get to work with FIFA on some type of legacy program here in the United States.
There is no legacy program that FIFA is doing in the U.S.
