A minority owner of the first-place Philadelphia Union, Richie Graham is looking even further down the road. He's put together an ambitious blueprint to help the U.S. develop a soccer superstar -- think LeBron James for The Beautiful Game. At the core of the plan is the YSC Academy, which he calls "the Juilliard for soccer." With North America hosting the 2026 World Cup, and the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles two years after that, Graham is accelerating plans to expand U.S. soccer, especially for the men's game, which doesn't enjoy the global dominance of the U.S. Women's National Team.
