“There’s never a never, and never an always”. If immigration continues at the rate it was, not withstanding the Trump admin shutting off the spigot, there will be a steady climb of soccer popularity. In my experiences, areas with large Hispanic populations are playing more soccer than other sports. There’s a county park in South Florida I used to play softball at years ago…the softball fields have been changed to soccer fields and are full every evening and weekend.
Don’t forget ... the Hispanics love American Football too.
