We’re already seeing more and more American players succeeding internationally (and not just goalies, either), with several Yanks playing key roles in England (Eric Lichaj, Geoff Cameron, Tim Howard, Maurice Edu), Germany (Tim Chandler, Fabien Johnson, Steve Cherundolo, Danny Williams, Jermaine Jones), Spain (Oguchi Onyewu), Italy (Michael Bradley) and Holland, where Jozy Altidore was leading the league in scoring up until recently.Meanwhile, the most accomplished field player the nation has ever produced, Clint Dempsey, is starting for Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premiership

Given the _huge_ liability the NFL is looking at, this might come true. But there are still these anti-soccer yahoos out there that hate it, because its a European sport. They seem to overlook golf (Scotland) and hockey (Canada). Even baseball is modified version of cricket (England), with rounders (England) tossed in. So it will be interesting to see how they resolve this.
