The biggest problem facing football in America might not be interest. It might be access. 🇺🇸⚽ Maarten Paes believes the pay-to-play system is still holding back young players across the US, with many families unable to afford the expensive academies and programmes needed to reach the highest level. In Europe, football can offer a pathway from the streets to the professional game. In America, Maarten believes basketball and American football often provide more accessible opportunities for young athletes. #MaartenPaes #USSoccer #Football
