Geez man, you’ve been on a roll of positivity on anything lately. I mean you even said you heard Farrah was a bad lay. Feeling the lack of sleep catching up to you? Gotta be sleeping through the night now, right?
American soccer is not that bad. Matter of fact, we’re making our way up the ranks. Have the last few years been disappointing, for sure. Missed WC’s.
BUT, we have more players now playing in the Premier League than ever before and getting the much needed experience to bring back to the National team. Have a much needed change of manager.
Those countries you listed are the blue bloods of international soccer. I’d put USA 🇺🇸 right around 15, but headed in the right direction……even though we have been saying that for a couple decades now.
Baseball??? Yeah, gonna disagree there
I think MORE kids choose those sports, but not ALL the best athletes.
It is exceptionally hard to play the game of soccer at a high level. The amount of athletic attributes it takes to compete at a top club in Europe far exceeds that of football. Hell, Basketball, Tennis, Hockey and even baseball take a much wider range of attribute than football.
One of our strength coaches in college was from Russia. He told me once that if the United States had the same system that the Soviets had back in the 60s, 70s and 80s- and all the children that were athletes were identified at an early age and sent to special government training facilities-- the US would win Gold, Silver and Bronze in almost every event. He said "the best athletes in the world play in the NFL".
