Major League Soccer is trying to start soccer programs in urban areasThe black areas in America, lack the infrastructure for soccer to take off.
The three biggest barriers is where to play. Yes, there are American football fields but generally the current open spaces sports field, even parks, have other things going on there, but its not insurmountable.
By far the biggest is lack of coaching. Not many black people know how to teach and coach the sport. So you would need either a white or latino or possibly blacks from the Caribbean or Africa to coach. Finding someone is harder than you think.
Is that Black kids haven't grown up with the sport. It's not as respected. In America, soccer is a white suburban sport. Its played more by little white girls the most. That's a big stereotype to overcome. It would work with little black girls but not little black boys who see the NBA and the NFL as more socially accepting.

It's going to be awkward the first week back for training. Morocco winning is a big surprise as well.
Well damn. Well hey they been playing for France for at least a couple of World Cups so it is what it is. I know there were people from various nations playing for teams other than their home country so it comes with the territory. Doesnt demean their skills and talent as a team.

I recall them talking about starting it years ago. The problem is they aren't committed. Its not successful for whatever reason. At least successful enough. One of my older brothers is a youth soccer coach in northern California. He gets suburban black kids. In the tournaments he's not seen any black teams from urban areas.Major League Soccer is trying to start soccer programs in urban areas
