You look at the future and in a few more years, we could, in Iowa get a professional soccer team, we could. We just need to be more supportive of the sport. I know that in town football and basketball are the main sports, but maybe within four years when we get the World Cup in America, more people will realize the impact of soccer and they would be more supportive of the sport.”
