Why doesn't anyone take recruiting outside of the U.S. and recruit some young soccer stars to come kick in the States? Or has this been done already?

Young soccer stars outside of the United States are busy playing the largest followed sport in the world. The good ones probably would not want to give up soccer and a chance to be on a world stage to sit on the sidelines hoping for a chance to get into a game once in a while and if you miss you are ridiculed.

The Gramatica brothers are of Argentine descent, although I don't know if they actually lived there or grew up in the States....

as the most followed sport in the world... it also has more people around the world trying to "Make It." but more times then not young players spend there time in the developmental leagues with slim chances to ever make it.

Martin and Bill both went to LaBelle high school in Florida. Martin didn't play football until his senior year though.
