Imagine this: It’s 2026 but the world map has not changed since 1939.Question: Who would have won the most World Cup championships?Things to consider: European countries generally did not draw players from their overseas colonial empires. In fact the Dutch East Indies competed in the 1938 World Cup and used the Dutch national anthem.Germany was never divided. In fact it would contain Austria and parts of Czechoslovakia.The USSR would have maintained all its constituent republics. The USSR typically played as a single entity and typically did well in the WC.England and Scotland field separate teams. Does that color what imperial resources are available to them?Yugoslavia, with its excellent performances in the WC, would be intact.Japan would contain Korea and parts of China.Israel would not exist and many countries would not be hindered by it.Italy would contain parts of the Adriatic coast.
>>18538893Germany would probably have 1 or 2 more world cups. That's the main difference I see.
>>18538896No love for Yugoslavia? Or the USSR, whose population would be about 350M if it existed today?
>>18538908Yugoslavia would make Olympic basketball actually competitive, but idk about soccer. They legit might've dethroned the US if not for the civil war, imagine them today with Jokic...and the USSR would be great in hockey. I mean Russia already is a big six country but adding top Latvian, Belarussian, and Kazakh players wouldn't hurt.
This would actually be the greatest football team oat and no one would come close
none because when there is actual things to do for the nation people wont care about niggerball
>>18538967>>18538908>Yugoslavia lost in 1986 and 1990 world cupSo much s*rbian wanker
