Summary: No US??

Just out of curiousity, anyone have any theories why the US has never
had any real success in sports like soccer?? It seems that a lot of
non West-Hemisphere countries have been getting really good in sports
that can be considered "American"---basketball, volleyball, etc...

does something like national funding, etc, make a difference??

and anyone know anything about letting "professinals" play in the 
Olympics?? It doesn't seem to me that there is that much of a difference
between someone who is govt-supported, gets money for side endorsements,
or accepts money outright...
