USA young soccer talent likes in Europe

May 14, 2014 - PRLog -- Considered a minority sport, soccer in the States has been always overshadowed by sports like American football, baseball or hockey. Only the successes of the Women’s National Team have helped this sport acquire certain prominence. Nevertheless, something is changing. The passion for football is fast growing, and playing an important role in this, is a host of good young talent.

Among this group of young soccer players are Tarquin Adams (Orlando), 10 years old and Jack Imperato (Texas) 12 years old. These two young boys live and breathe soccer. It was their passion for soccer plus their talent that brought them to Spain, home to some of the best European Soccer Clubs.
