This is what can happen when a @USLChampionship club authentically represents its city and does things the right way… also unreal goal @oaklandrootssc @BUFProSoccer
Oakland Roots' first game at the Coliseum attracted a sold-out crowd of 26,575—the second-biggest in USL Championship history 👏 A city put through so much unfair sporting agony showed out and was treated to a banger for Roots' first Coliseum goal 🖤

US Youth Soccer Culture Robotic. Lacks passion and hunger. Parent controlled. New “elite” leagues every season. Clubs focused on revenue vs kids growth. 6 hour round trip per game. Super Elite Pre-MLS NEXT 2022 Teams. Adults screaming “Boot it, Kick it, Send it. Pass it.”
