If only Rugby players were paid as well as Football players...the US would dominate. People play where the money is at.

... where are the good US soccer players? Or do you think there is no money?

Its about culture. The All Blacks are unbelievable at rugby because that's their culture.

From a historical perspective it it interesting that America chose not to embrace the sports from the British Empire (soccer, rugby, cricket). Unlike countries as South-Africa, Australia, who excel in rugby, or India which plays cricket as if it were a national sport. The choice of sports in America could be more politically rooted than one might expect.

I have played rugby for 12 years and most american players do not get paid.....It really is the most interesting spectator sport around. This years world cup is the best I have seen the USA Eagles look ever.....Even though they lost their first two games....
