I disagree....size of country has alot to do with it...not all to do with it...alot is also like you said the attitude towards it...but as i said before soccer is really begginning to take flight here...and its happening right now..we've got great players that are still young bucks.. playing for Europes more prominant teams..im not trying to say were gunna take complete control and be the best... but were gunna be competers and demand respect... there isnt much that seperates our teams, we give every team on this world tough matches and close games...i cant remeber the last time we were blown out except for maybe the lost to Germany in the france world cup..

and im sure that we've gained much respect by the players rather than their fans...
