I thought that, I know a lot of Americans grow up playing 'soccer' but for some reason you don't produce the great players other nations have. I think it's because you play it but see it as just a game.. I remember growing up and all I ever wanted to do was be a footballer. I'd play it every single day, I'd train myself to use both feet. Over here it's a way of life, results actually effect my mood. I don't think America will have that affection us Brits, especially the English have for it. Which is a good thing cos if you lot took it seriously and started to really go for it, you could potentially be unstoppable.
