Stoke City utility Geoff Cameron is convinced football will eventually become the No1 sport in his native USA.
The versatile Stoke star, who will play for his country against Colombia at Fulham on Friday, says a booming interest State-side is not just a World Cup fad.
The 29-year-old explained: "Soccer has become huge. It is more mainstream now and eventually I think it will take over the big sports in America.
"If you look at it, it has to go from generation to generation. It's a time thing. Our generation's children will grow up in a soccer environment then that's what these kids learn.
"Now with the diversity we have in the U.S., the different cultures and different ethnicity they all come from soccer backgrounds and grew up in that environment.
"I think that is the reason why soccer is becoming huge."
