I really feel Americans want to believe in pro soccer.

Donner helped bring pro soccer and lacrosse to his home town of Rochester, New York.

In 2008, an organization called Women's Professional Soccer was formed and began playing pro soccer in 2009.

But look overseas, and you will see pro soccer and basketball jerseys emblazoned with large ads in nearly every country.

Thirty years ago, when pro soccer was first trying to make inroads into the United States, many Americans held strong views about the global pastime.

The NFL owners were not happy with Hunt's ownership in and promotion of pro soccer.

This contrasts with pro soccer, where many of the world's best players compete in Europe instead of the United States.

It's always been my dream to play pro soccer, especially at an enormous club like that.

The Lions is a nickname that has persisted in the area in connection with later efforts to bring pro soccer to the area.

So when pro soccer finally came to America, I dragged my friends to the games.
