Just can’t see them producing a top, top player as other sports are too popular there. Always groan when people say “if they just focused on ___ they’d be the best in the world” when it comes to US, China etc because it’s not that simple
All the infrastructure in the world won’t make kids want to play football, there’s more money in other sports in America and importantly they have no idols like the big footballing countries. Smaller places with less infrastructure like Uruguay will produce more top talents purely because football is part of their history and culture, they have legends to look up to and a reputation too - until US somehow gets that in football they will hit a ceiling no matter how much money they invest imo
