October 10, 2017. The U.S. men’s soccer team loses in Trinidad
and Tobago, and fails to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. Winning
soccer’s greatest prize never seemed more distant. Immediate
fixes—a new coach, a revamped professional league, a commitment
to coaching education—won’t put the USA in the global elite.
The nation is too fractious, too litigious, too wrapped up in other
sports, and too late to the game. In Why the U.S. Men Will Never
Win the World Cup: A Historical and Cultural Reality Check, Beau
Dure shows what American soccer is really up against. Using
hundreds of sources to trace more than 100 years of history, Dure
delves into the culture that only recently lost its disdain for the
global game and still doesn’t have the depth of soccer insight
and passion that much of the world has had for generations. The
difficulty isn’t any single thing—the mismanagement of failed
leagues, the inability to agree on a path forward, the lawsuits
that stem from an inability to agree, or the unique American
culture that treasures its homegrown sports. It’s everything. And
yet, Why the U.S. Men Will Never Win the World Cup is ultimately
optimistic. Dure argues that with the right long-term changes, the
U.S. can build a soccer environment that consistently produces
quality players, strong results, and a lot more fun on the
international stage. Soccer fans and skeptics alike will find this
a fascinating examination of America’s past, present, and future
in the beautiful game.
