Why do people say the US isn't a soccer nation when one of the greatest players of all time was American?

Explain this Europoors.

>Explain this Europoors
Other nations don't play soccer so that headline isn't wrong.

Irish call it soccer as well Luka

>only played in MLS

Can't argue with it, really.

Foreigners underrate him because he didn't succeed in one of their leagues, in which he was actively benched due to Europe's inherent bias against their American betters.

But on the grandest stage of them all, Landon well out performed their heroes.

Yeah but Ireland is shit, so Donovan probably is the best "soccer" player of all time

What about all the soccer players from before you guys stopped using the term soccer because it got too americanized

Copa America goals
>Dempsey: 1
>Messi: 0

Who is better? Let the numbers decide.

I think we're a top 5 all-time great soccer nation (and I hate the sport, but facts are facts).

- Donovan is the greatest world cup performer of his era.

- 3 World Cup titles.

- 3rd place in the first World Cup without really even trying.

- Cleaned up FIFA.

- Hosted the most successful world cup of all-time per attendance.

It's hard not to justify it.

You gonna need a better bait

It was a legitimate question

They came up with the term, Paulo.

...Association football

...Assoc

...Soc

...Soccer

>Euro leagues
>credible

Yea

THIS ISN'T VIABLE

FUCK LANDYCAKES AND HIS MEME BLOOTERS

WORSE THAN 'I HAVE LEUKEMIA BUT MY DAD COACHED AT PRINCETON AND I WENT BACKPACKING THROUGH ITALY ONCE' MICHAEL BRADLEY

WORSE THAN 'I LET SOMEONE ELSE FUCK MY WIFE AND SINGLEHANDEDLY SABOTAGED FRANCE '98' ERIC WYNALDA

WORSE THAN 'I DID A LOT OF PEYOTE IN ECUADOR' ALEXEI LALAS

>cleaned up FIFA

*cleaning up FIFA
There are still offices to raid
E Puribus Unum, motherfucker

why don't you kick in the door first, you Seattleite faggot?

>3 World Cup titles.
what the fuck are you on about
quit embarrassing yourself

Pulisic is literally already ten times better than Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, Messi, and Damien Duff combined.

Key word here is "Nation."

The US, as a Nation, has 3 World Cup titles.

Don't be asshurt because Mejico has 0, Paco.

women's doesn't count tumblr

Its Guilherme senpai

what a shame the stats on your picture are complete bullshit...

Once Mexico is finished invading it'll be our national sport, don't worry.

Too bad we can't get conquered by a country that can advance past the Round of 16.

Best soccer player in the world did ok at everton for a bit. Not even the best soccer player in his own continent, which is full of shit.

there are 30 million chicanos in this country and soccer is still less popular than hockey. it's never happening.

Literally who?

then we can say
Simone Barone 1 world cup
messi 0

No way, Keane was 10 times the player donovan't was.

Donovan? Who is Donovan?

If the US would give a shit about football they would have the greatest players on earth in less than a decade. Imagine people like Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, LeBron James, Shaq, Rodman, Westbrook playing it since kids. They would rape the rest of the world.

>texas

Tim Cahill is the greatest soccer player of all time

tom brady is very slow, he would not be a good soccer player.

lulz, that list of "athletes"
though it would be fun to watch shaq try to run for 5 minutes before passing out

Ei Guilherme, vai tomar no cu

Don't know much about soccer but his goal against algeria was the best goal i've ever ever seen in my life.

>mfw fatty thinks Luka is croatian name.

BEST NORTH AMERICAN PLAYERS OF ALL TIME

1. Dwight Yorke
2. Hugo Sanchez
3. Rafa Marquez
4. Landon Donovan
5. Bryan Ruiz

And be fair, we Amerifats JUST got into Hooliganism

>Bryan "lost to America 4-0" Ruiz

>copa memerica

Bryan "Italy's Worst Nightmare" Ruiz
Bryan "World Cup Quarter Finals without losing a game" Ruiz

>Bryan "got relegated" Ruiz

I think Lando was bretty gud ;DDD

He probably googled it, since its one of, if not the, most common names.

Same here.

>Implying all of that """""Athlete""""" can play 45 minutes without commercial break

Hi scarpa.

Donovan wasn't even better than Howard

Until you have a guy play in and win the European cup/champions league, it's hard to take a nation seriously. If San Marino can do it, why can't USA?

>3 World Cup titles.
wat

Hesky is the greatest of all time

What are you doing in the US, KSI?

or luka modric faggot
