Summary
Welcome to Wednesday on Morning Kickaround, and today's show hits at one of the things holding down American soccer... Capitalism. Ticket prices for the World Cup continue to be sky high and sales are slower than expected. USMNT matches are even struggle to sell at the moment. Combo that with increasingly shady business practices by FIFA and you get.. a problem that FIFA doesn't care about and won't even try to solve. Also, how will the World Cup influence youth soccer and is there any hope for the problems that ail that system? In other news, the NWSL is coming to Columbus at the expense of $50 million in public funding to revamp a city park into a training facility for the new club. Finally, the GOAT is coming to Utah tonight, but what did it take to get him there and is it a good thing that Real Salt Lake is keeping this game at America First Field?
