Do you think lower-league soccer in the US is improving or still all over the place?

Feels like the 2026 World Cup is going to bring a lot more attention to soccer in the US, but I’m curious if the lower levels of the game are actually ready for it.

There are more amateur and semi-pro leagues now than before, but depending on where you live, it still feels like a mixed experience. Some clubs seem really well-run and community-focused, while others don’t last very long.

It feels like soccer culture is growing outside MLS, but the structure underneath still feels a bit messy.

Do you think the lower levels of US soccer are actually improving, or is it mostly just more teams without much stability?
