via ithomson75
Check out this cool mini-documentary style video found on YouTube about the Washington Whips soccer team.
On July 30, 1966, nine million American viewers tuned in to watch the FIFA World Cup Final on the NBC channel. It was the first stand-alone broadcast of a soccer game on U.S. network television, and England's pulsating extra-time win over West Germany left the audience enthralled.
Within weeks, two groups of North American sports promoters were seeking to tap into soccer's newfound popularity by launching rival professional leagues -- the National Professional Soccer League and the United Soccer Association.

The United States is 2 or 3 World Cups away from being serious contenders, if we change the way we play the game, now. We need to bring America to the beautiful game. Our country has always made its own way, but when it comes to soccer we are trying to find our place within the world’s game. Not only will we not win like this. It will continue to be difficult to bring in better athletes and new fans.
Soccer is one of the first sports our youth play. Where are we losing them and why? I believe it has to do with the way it is presented. Soccer is the game you play when you first decide to play organized sports. It gives the kids a chance to run around but, no one really takes it seriously. When children are first introduced to football, basketball, baseball etc., it is intense from the word go. We have to do the same with soccer.
In a country where football is the game of choice, we can’t have players diving; rolling on the ground when the replay shows they weren’t even touched. It goes back to the old American sayings “rub some dirt on it” or “walk it off.” This is what is meant by bringing America to the beautiful game.
The Philanthropist of the American Game (P.A.G.) is committed to doing this, giving the American game an identity. Every sport in America has had some sort of innovation. It’s time to innovate soccer. I refuse to believe that our play in the 2010 World Cup is the best we can do. We can play with skill on the ball; have dangerous free kick takers, beautiful passes and the toughness we as Americans are known for. We just don’t teach it that way, until now.
How do I plan on spreading the message? I will spread the message through websites such as VaSoccerNews, FaceBook, Twitter, and YouTube commercials if I have to. The style of play and mentality that will be presented is one that entices “athletes” to come play the sport, not just soccer players. What is the style? The style will be fast, physical, athletic and smart. Soon you will have the mind of Peyton Manning commanding the Midfield, the athleticism of Dwayne Wade at the Striker position and the range and leadership of Derek Jeter at Center Back. And they will play and stay in America.
The long term goal for P.A.G. is to be a symbol of American soccer. By wearing it either on your uniforms or just your day to day attire, it will mean you believe in a better brand of soccer. A brand only we as Americans are capable of playing.
The long term goal for me is to coach. I will teach the game. I am a firm believer of leading by example. If I want my team in shape, I will be in shape. If I want them to remain calm under adversity, I must do the same.
The 2010 World Cup showed us we are ready to compete. It’s time to take the next step.
I am the Philanthropist of the American Game. You can be too.
