St. Louis produces more quality players per capita than Los Angeles.Article shows how dominate soccer is in Southern California...LA-77 players, San Diego 26 player, Inland Empire-21 players, Santa Barbara 6 players. 130 players all coming from within 200 miles. Nowhere in the US is anywhere close to that. Those players most likely would have played each other in tournaments, leagues, scrimmages, its normal to travel that distance to play in SoCal. Of course there are a number of reasons why soccer is so strong in this area, but the numbers show that most come from this area.

This should clear the lines between SoCal and NorCal.I understand what you are saying per capita...what I'm telling you is that LA, San Diego, Inland Empire and Santa Barbara should actually be considered one area. Then if you really want your survey to hold weight you would actually have to find out how many players are playing and divide that number by how many make the pros. Who really cares what the number is per capita, the real value would be finding out how many in those select area play soccer. If you have no idea how many people play then your average number per capita doesn't matter, the only other relevant number would be how many from that are actually play.
That is funny....photo is from the Bayern Munich Bundesliga championship. I hope he doesn’t still wear his BM uniform to coach the U13’s. That’s alittle too much “Glory Days”.What did they win? From the picture it looks like a World Cup
