"There is nothing inherently more talented about Brazilians or Spaniards when it comes to the game than Americans, and when the greatest player in the world stands at a whopping 5′ 7" after having growth hormone therapy because he was a stunted little runt, I’ll submit that maybe we are looking for the wrong things when we start assessing talent." Great piece from James Staritt over at SportingTimes.net on American soccer. It's a few weeks old, but I'd highly recommend giving it a read if you have a chance.
