The sport of soccer is growing in the United States. Gradually, it is taking hold in the public light, with an increasing number of kids playing the sport over the more established alternatives like basketball or football.
As it increases in popularity the standard of the players also improves. Christian Pulisic is playing at the highest level that any American has ever played at. Landon Donovan is largely considered the greatest American player in history, but he never competed at a level even close to what Pulisic is playing at. The now Chelsea winger will move this summer for around £60 million.
