The World Cup is coming closer and closer every day, and as many billions of other people on the globe i'm really excited about it.
Just recently i was wondering why the USA never pops up amongst the qualified teams for the world cup?
I know for a fact that the obesity meme is not relevant amongst every person in a country with over 300 million people. The US has many talented athletes in other sports such as basketball, baseball, hockey...
So why is it that even third world countries with no recourses perform better than a global superpower in the biggest sports event on the planet?
This issue really boggles my mind, and i hope some American anons can explain this to me?
Because in the U.S. it's a kids game to get kids them active. Once high school hits, its mostly nerds/mexicans who play soccer. What is your 4th or 5th most popular sport? Thats why we suck at soccer - not many care about it. It is growing in popularity though.
Austin Powell
Nobody here plays soccer There is your answer
Wyatt Garcia
>soccer it's a hobby for kids or having fun with your friends and but a sport.
Alexander Williams
Too much Domestication and Civilisation leads to the destruction of any civilisation.
Most Americans are Nu-Males and their women are raging ape whores
Justin Rogers
Its like the 8th most popular men's sport here. Most people have probably never watched a single game of it in their entire lives. So it doesnt draw anywhere near the top tier (or 2nd, or 3rd tier) of athletes.
Isaiah Allen
>a sport designed for manlets
No thanks, we play real sports over here.
Aaron Carter
Soccer is a game where the optimal strategy is to fake injury and weakness to trick the referees into penalizing your opponents. It's the Jew of sports
Jose Scott
Basically cause we live in our own little world and pretend the rest of the world doesnt exist
Isaiah Watson
That actually makes sense. It's just weird that there are spheres on the globe where people don't care about it while in other ones people literally kill for it.
Because wogball is for FUCKING POOFTAS! >take dive >get penalty >replay shows you were faking it >your fans cheer and idolize you
If you tried something like that in the gentleman's game of cricket you'd get booed every time you walked out on the field for the rest of your career.
Xavier Morris
That's the beauty of soccer. Games get very dirty if someone fakes an injury without the referee noticing it.
John Martin
No one watches it, and no one plays it, so we don't really put any investment in a team at all.
If by some stroke of luck, the US won the World Cup, I doubt anyone in the US would know or care.
Charles Nguyen
Nice knowing all these people in the Southern-American favelas and African ghettos playing manlet sports.
Levi Rivera
Its also because our most athletic players are spread across a variety of sports from Basketball to Football to Baseball and Soocer. If all those athletes trained to be soccer players in their youth the US would be the best team on the planet
Hunter Torres
Oh come on for a few weeks you know tons of people would jump on the bandwagon and act like they are superfans... Or for a couple weeks
Nathaniel Wright
because in America soccer is for kids who are too weak to play football
Soccer has no contact so in terms of the American High School Social Status Hierarchy it is for beta males
Alpha by Season 1. Fall - Football 2. Winter - Wrestling/Basketball 3. Spring - Baseball/Lacrosse
If you did not play these sports during these seasons you are a subhuman beta male
Jack Garcia
The top male athletes in the US don't play soccer. They're steered into other sports very early on. If it were popular here we would probably dominate.
Soccer happens to be a great destination for female athletes though.
usa does not suck in football in fact if you check out stats from last 5 or 6 world cups, USA got final placements higher than belgium L2play before you accuse others
>Soccer >Beta males A soccer match takes up for at least 90 minutes with only 1 time out. I don't know exactly how much that is with American football but i know for a fact it is much less with much more time outs.
You need absolute physique and top condition in order to be good at this sport.
> from last 5 or 6 world cups, USA got final placements higher than belgium
You're one funny Swede.
Chase Sullivan
Its called football yank. Pathetic attempt also at excusing the usa for being shit at football. Also gridiron is the most pussiest showboatin fag show ever.
Ethan Morris
American football and most other sports here have been made almost unwatchable due to commercial breaks.
A typical football game is an hour of play and three hours of beer and car commercials.
Oliver Price
#13 can get the D
Logan Perez
Sure more timeouts but you are putting in 100% effort for short bursts of time...vs jogging for 45 with bursts of energy
Its a different kind of stamina
Have you even seen American high school athletes? They would absolutely fucking destroy weak ass soccer fags.
Running backs, wide receivers, QBs, linebackers are usually fast and strong in high school. All could easily play soccer
But not only could they play soccer they could beat the shit out of them too
William Sanders
>If [...] the US would be the best team on the planet You sound like a little kid.
Jacob Mitchell
All of our best "footballers" play wide receiver in the NFL. It's just a fact.
I'm 46 years old and just recently learned what an "offside" is in soccer. We simply don't watch the game at all.
Soccer, that sport we let our children play in elementary school and gave vand driving Brenda (yes, she did talk to the manager already) a nom de guerre of Soccer Mom.
The funniest part is that in the Olympics our women team does pretty good with a sport that no one really gives a shit about in America.
Ryder Cox
>manlet on roids with gay italian fancy boy haircuts
Alexander Butler
No not necessarily. It's just nice to know that they are in fact closet homosexuals. Next time i'm not gonna be paranoid walking over there when i actually posses this knowledge.
Charles Reyes
Pretty sure soccer offsides is the same as hockey offsides. So wtf
Ian Davis
It's because soccer is for the poor. Any poor fag can play soccer with three sticks and an inflated pig bladder. States are only interested in patrician sports.
Elijah Thompson
here is a random pic of a random high school team. all of these kids could easily play soccer if they were trained.
could you say the same thing about soccer players? probably not because falling down and crying for a penalty flag and for some guy to come by with a stretcher with magic healing spray is actually an integral part of your fucking gay sport
>being able to kick around a little ball and run around >being able to beat the hell out of the person in front of you to take possession of enemy territory while memorizing tactical plays like a soldier
American talent is spread out among multiple games
-Football -Baseball -Basketball -Hockey
and that is just first tier sports, you then have
-Tennis -Golf -Lacrosse -Swimming -Other random shit
All you have is soccer and you aren't even that good
Cooper Johnson
>spic ball only kids play that gay sport here
Grayson Powell
In Belgium we have North-African gang members who walk around with haircuts like that. just in case you ever visit. Don't say anything about it, unless you want to get stabbed.
>throw a ball >kick a ball both are easy, now shut up
Jackson Barnes
discussion was about last 6, which you said belgium did better than usa, apparently not how fucking autistic you must be to refuse to admit that you was wrong even after ipresented facts? jesus, pathetic turk
Jayden Long
Soccer will never be a top sport in America until it replaces Football as the top sport of the fall season
Women in America are programmed to love football players -Overall good athletes -Usually tough -Football team will always be able to beat up the soccer team in a fight
And thats pretty much it. Soccer is for fags and it will always be the sport for alphas.
You are fighting against years and years of American culture and brainwashing.
Soccer is only gaining in popularity because Obama and Bush let in a shit ton of illegal mexicans. Once Trump executes them all on Cinco de Mayo it will cease to be important
Evan Lopez
Thank you for pointing out the obvious, mister le 56%
>only one sport Sure, that's why we're also better in sports such as cycling, kickboxing, swimming and running.
Jaxson Peterson
golf, soccer, mma and nascar all manlet sports. glad thats setttled
Lucas Stewart
America refuses to acknowledge fútbol until you change the name.
Luis Lopez
The American soccer league is played in the summer and nobody watches "Jackie Robinson Ball" anymore. It'll never beat football but will gain enormous popularity.
>how can you be the global superpower if you aren’t good at a children’s game? Because that isn’t the metric we or any other nation uses to measure wealth, power, or influence.
I've never even heard of a good fighter from belgium before
michael phelps is arguably the best swimmer in the world and probably in human history
running is literally an activity you do to be good at other sports. and everyone knows running is dominated by barefoot niggers from somalia. try again you stupid waffle
whats your next argument? ping pong and speed walking? how about curling?
Chase Watson
MLS might be summer but all sports have their roots in high school athletics. Soccer is a fall sport...but it will always be played by kids too weak to play a real sport like football
Angel Sanchez
What's fútbol?
Just call it soccer if you don't want to call it football.
Hockeys much better, I get to see a bunch of grown man push around a round object. Theres goalies and nets, AND I have the chance to see two guys start beating the shit out of each other, if soccer players tried professional hockey most of them would shit their pants and start crying when the ref doesnt foul the other guy for smashing him into the wall
Jackson Lewis
If you're an aspiring athlete in the US it makes much more sense to chose football, basketball, or baseball from a money earning standpoint. The effect is that the best either get "poached" by those other sports so to speak, or they just decide to pursue some other career.
Isaiah Hall
Rugby is less popular in the states than freakin soccer
Brayden White
rugby isn't played at a serious level in america though. its a club sport and something played by drunk irish people in college
we already have football
Grayson Taylor
Puerto Rico just got hit by two Category 5 hurricanes back-to-back, we're also in an economic crisis and on top of that the crime rate is through the roof. Yet even we would rather have the Island sink before we play Third World ball, apply yourselves
>never even heard of a good fighter from belgium before That's because you all watch that bandwagon commercialized sports called mma. Kickboxing is the most alpha fighting sports there is on the entire planet.
Levi Nelson
only soy boys care about poverty ball here. our best athletes play real sports
Samuel Long
Yes baseball is the greatest pastime of all time. I mean i like European football too but you cant fuck with american baseball
David Ortiz
The problem with kickboxing is that there is no penalty for botching kicks if you slip, the referee just lets you back up, thus creating an unrealistic situation where you can just spam kocks without repercussions
>real sport >take a break every 10 seconds for 6 hours
pick one
Jason King
Doesn't matter. It's a fact that the kickboxer will own the boxer and mma fighter in a street fight, period. That's why this sport is alpha over every other fighting sport. youtube.com/watch?v=TxyFzEES2Mg
John Perry
This
Elijah Powell
Its leagues more alfa than baseball or soccer though
Jeremiah Walker
>because of hyper brown population pockets all white people are instantly mutts How fucking sad you life must be that reposting this gives you meaning.
Jaxon Roberts
Babe ruth is turning in his grave at that comment
Joseph Ramirez
Unironically this
Nathaniel Morales
Demographics of 300million+ compared to demographics of 10 million, and we still beat you in the number one sports event on the planet, topkek.
