October 10, 2017. The U.S. mens soccer team loses in Trinidad and Tobago, and fails to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. Winning soccers greatest prize never seemed more distant. Immediate fixesa new coach, a revamped professional league, a commitment to coaching educationwont 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 doesnt have the depth of soccer insight and passion that much of the world has had for generations. The difficulty isnt any single thingthe 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. Its everything.And yet, Why the U.S. Men Will Never Win the World Cup is ultimately optimistic. Dure argues that with the right longterm 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 Americas past, present, and future in the beautiful game.
