The Maryland Soccer Foundation
It's hard to imagine that until recently the world’s most popular
sport, played by people of all ages in over two hundred countries,
could be overlooked by the world’s most diverse place…the
United States. Within the past decade, however, soccer has grown
immensely and is now becoming the game of the New America. It
has brought its 138 years of emotions from more than 2.5 Billion
players and fans into American communities from north to south,
coast to coast. Many people wonder why we put so much time and
effort into a game that has yet to catch on in a country of high scoring,
hard hitting sports.  If you saw what we see every time we come to
work, you would understand completely!
