why do many New Zealanders in U.S. clubs whether in MLS, USL, NCAA,... ? I even can't find any Aussies in US clubs

Yeah, that was appalingly worded. I think Kiwis play in the states so that they can go to the universities there, but I suppose that doesn't answer your question about why their are no aussies there.

they arn't brought up right from birth.. considering the first word(phrase) they hear is g'day mate which will never register in any dictionary ever! resulting in poor education potential..leading to no u.s university scholarships

Shannon Cole  who played a season with Waitakere in the NZFC and is now at Olympic in Sydney went to US College.

I suspect more of the Australian player base have the parental access to Europe so try that route rather than US Colleges and by extention the MLS and US-Leagues.  maybe the recruiters just aren't as active in Aus ?

The other thing to remember is that for 12 years or so European clubs all thought they would get the next Harry Kewell every time they signed an Australian (why they would want an overrated and perpetually injured donkey I have no idea)  so would sign any rubbish.
