Is soccer played professionally in the U.S.?
<|assistant|>
No, soccer is not currently played professionally in the United States. However, Major League Soccer (MLS) is the highest-level professional league in the U.S., and teams in the league compete in an annual postseason tournament and in international competitions such as the Concacaf Champions League and the Copa Libertadores, as well as participating in friendly matches. In 2019, the United States women's national team won the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, becoming the first team in U.S. history to accomplish the feat. This has increased interest in the sport and calls for more professional leagues in the United States. Recently, the MLS has been attempting to expand its reach in order to grow the sport further in the United States.
