Sounds like a good match for all involved, but his impact on American soccer is being overblown. The American Soccer community is growing naturally through participation and immigration but I don't think the game translates for folks who weren't raised on it. Star power doesn't keep butts in the seats during a 1-0 match. Heck LA folks don't even watch their baseball team's full games even after the game was rui...altered for them. The NFL, which I love, is where its at for the American attention span.
