Why are Russians not so good at football? They have a very big country, and I don't think they have any other popular sports.

Biathlon and hokkeii are much more popular in the rigions with real talent.
Also nobody cares about club football.

Because Russia only care about hockey, not faggy divegrass

The last good Russian player, 2008, 2009 and 2010, played for Arsenal

they are poor
they are drunks
it's really cold in winter
whole generations of able-bodied men have been repeatedly wiped out in wars

Because no soviet system to develop society skills

holy fuck the size of those arms

Why isn't your ountry?

Why isn't any big country forthat matter?

it's cold
bear ate ball
i hit puck with stick now

>7717
>7-1
>1-7
Great digits famiglia

they are just like Americans actually, so butthurt over not being the absolute best at a fucking game they pretend not to care and instead focus on meme sports only they take seriously. can't even imagine how insecure and neurotic does a (((culture))) have to be to do that

>I don't think they have any other popular sports

Hockey and boxing are very popular in Russia and they're good at both. Russia has the best amateur/olympic boxing program in the world

...

>Russia has the best amateur/olympic boxing program in the world

Gee, I wonder why

they are poor
and it snows for like 7 months out of the year so hard to play in that condiditon

Soccer is only really popular in Moscow and St Petersburg

Most of the athletes come more from like Siberia

>le paid attractive whores in full Poccия outfits shipped to internationally televised games by the government as part of the psy ops campaign aimed to undermine western men's desire for western women

don't fall for it lads. btw this effort is coordinated with the tojos who are trying to the same thing by making white western men fall in love with their gook pedophile cartoons

?

Russians only care about chimping out and drinking vodka

This!

Russia is my friend. You don't talk bad about my friend. Russian machine never breaks

Too busy playing CS:Go

i miss this guy so much ;__: wenger ruined him.

t. arsenal fan

Their Messi

CYKA BLYAT

WESTERN DOG MOTHERFUCKER

Mee too, But he is finished since 2011 or 2012.

u too

Is he still alive?

Shit infrastructure

>it's really cold in winter
This is key. Within the U.S. the warmer regions produce a lot more athletes. If a child can go outside and play 330 days a year, he'll develop a lot better physical skills than one who can only do so 150 days a year.

Post more slavfus.

>tfw you find out she got fucked by 50 guys in one night at a sex party in moscow

The Russian team is not so good now, but they had been better in the past (especially in 2008, when they reached the semis at the Euros). Also the USSR had a quite strong football tradition and some very good teams, but Soviet football was centered mainly on Ukrainian teams and players so

We're poor and good football schools exist only in a few cities.

>Poland, Croatia, Czech, Bosnia are all better than Russia.
Lel. Worst Slavs.

A bunch of meme-answers were below like Russians caring aboht h*ckey qhich they don't so I'll give a real answer:

Russian league has a foreigner limit (which was intended to get more good Russian players but is counterproductive), but because there are so little good Russian players they just make 3 million per year at age 21 and don't even care about improving because the teams need good players to fullfil the foreigner limit requirments. That is why Russian footballers inside of Russia have stereotypes of being overpaid annoying brats and is why young Russian players get boo'd often. But because they make so much money they don't go abroad either which means they don't learn different styles of football.

Also, all the young generation players grew up in '90s when everyone was poor as shit and no one could affort to put their kids on football training.

Eventually Russia will become good for their population size, probably 20 years or so, when foreigner limit is gone and every keed is on a footba club with training and not playing on the streets.

...

I'd cheeki breeki inside her but.

Russian kids play footbal 365 days a year.
>But because they make so much money they don't go abroad either which means they don't learn different styles of football.
This
>Also, all the young generation players grew up in '90s when everyone was poor as shit and no one could affort to put their kids on football training.
Arshavin and the rest of good players of 2008 team were born in early 80's. Teens of their generation could become junkies/drunks/prostitutes or strong men. Hard times create strong men.

Butt*
Godamn it all.

Because soccer is a chick sport in our country.

Why do Europeans constantly shit on us for not caring about soccer but I never see them shitting on you for it.

Soccer is for one of the following here

>gays
>women
>losers who suck at the 4 sports here

Because maybe we constantly boast about "Muh Gold Medals per Capita?" And keep bragging about our athletes? Russia doesn't do that.

Football is actually pretty popular. And Russian NT general shitness is overblown and doesn't correlate with Russian club shittnes since Russian League just overtook Portuguese league in coefficinets and are 6th behind France.

I think common american doesn't do sports. Common american is the fat one who just watches sports. Football/soccer is the best sport game to play. So if you are normal good person you play soccer and probably watch one. But you americans are fat retards so you follow sports that "good" to watch.

The kids here play sports. Once people get older they turn into slobs that don't want to move and eat junk all day. I hate it man it isn't hard to stay a healthy weight. People here are so fucking dumb.

Do kids like to play soccer?

Actually yeah it's a popular kids sport here. Obviously not to the level as in Latin America or Europe, but I would say it's one of the more popular ones until like 14 years old or so. Hockey and football can be expensive, so it and basketball are cheaper options for families.

Although, I bet more children are playing more video games these days.

some do, theres thousands of local leagues for small kids but these are really just places where parents can drop off their kids for an hour. they dont actually train or anything like that.

because snow is not so good for open stadium sports

Yup it's played fairly often for our youth but it's not like they are taught tactics or strategy. Basically kids running around kicking a ball without much intent of anything.

>Basically kids running around kicking a ball without much intent of anything.
Do american kids play hockey by this way? It isn't expensive.

...

The kids that get into hockey don't quit by the age of 12 like they do in soccer. That's why we always say it's a sport for kids here, because most, not all, move on to one of the other sports here by jr high.

>Do american kids play hockey by this way? It isn't expensive.
I forget something
...by this way? Do they play with no protection equipment. It isn't expensive.

Oh you meant by the pic above. If you're just playing with friends yeah. Not in organized leagues though.

I'm not much the person to ask, I never played it much, even though I live in a northern state. I was a baseball and tennis kid.

This

Not everyone cares about soccer like euros do. Why can't euros understand that? We have our own sports and traditions that we value enough to not just drop just because everyone else plays soccer.

Of course all this will probably go over your head as Hungary doesn't have enough of a sporting culture to develop its own sports. Countries the size of states and provinces won't understand

...

Californian hockey player here. A lot of kids just play 'In House' leagues which are for kids that are low skilled, less competitive, and lower cost.

Travel hockey (closer to academy hockey in Russia) is getting bigger and bigger every year here.

Football is the no.1 sport in Russia tho

Not by as much of a margin as in most countries (hockey is a close 2nd), but it's definitely the national sport

she started doing legit straight porn after her gangbang video leaked. Granted she only does porn with her husband, but still.

Right you fag...when you make statements like that you're prety much obliged to provide links.

I can link you my /gif/ threads if you want?

Here you go

I can live with this.

Haram

Good lad

Shut the fuck up euroboo faggot

How the hell did that happen? Portugal does better than them in Europe

No one shits on Americans for not caring you retard

Yes they do you retard

Portugal has only 2 half-assed CL level team and maybe 2 teams who choke in EL every year, rest is pure shit. In Russia there are maybe 1 or 2 half-assed CL teams but they have like 6 EL-tier teams which brings the coefficient up a lot

wew

Post any screencaps or link a single post you idiot. Laughing at Americans for trying to claim their domestic sports are all that matters isn't shitting on you for not caring

Why does Europe care so much about Champions League. Wouldn't you guys rather have salary caps and a more healthy competitive league with parity rather than one or two super teams?

Not true. I shit on americans because banter and because of all the time and effort some burger autists put in threads, just to assure us how much they don't care about what eurogods think about them.

Why do you post about things you're clueless about?

you didn't invent any of your sports though

I'm glad you like it

i.4cdn.org/gif/1493492634784.webm

Because the biggest major sport in Russia before modern times was surviving winter you insensitive prick.

parity is actually shit. if one or two teams have all the best players in a league they end up developing new styles which forces the entire game of football to evolve and progress

Nice song

will never forget his legendary performance vs liverpool
youtube.com/watch?v=wPyludgy0_A

There is parity though

Parity is much better than the two biggest teams dominating. It makes for a much stronger entertaining league.

Why europeans are so obssesed with americans?

...

>teeth

y tho

Why are so many Russian women models? Moscow has filled with10/10's. Are Slav genes superior?

All their best athletes are too busy wrestling bears

better question is why is china so shit. it has the biggest population on earth and soccer is the most popular sport there so how is it possible for them to be so bad.

this girl does nasty, hardcore gangbang porn btw
wouldn't be surprised if someone paid the producers to film her for pr

Football in Russia is massively corrupted. I've heard a story about young prospect being rejected because his parents couldn't afford the bribe to get the kid in the club.

+traditional values. Men want beauty woman, women want strong man.

She's Delilah G

the chinese president has ordered his national team to win the world cup by 2030 now tho

they are spending crazy money on developing talents now

>pic related, a chinese football academy

>direct government money in sports

Disgusting
