Why is cuba by far the most superior latin american nation in sport, far more than puerto rico?

>Inside Bayern’s dressing room the players speak openly about the irrelevance of the Bundesliga, a league whose quality has collapsed, whose visibility abroad is almost non-existent, and where Bayern stand as the only club of stature while the rest operate on a level far below. Domestic victories no longer bring pride, they bring emptiness, because the competition itself has lost all meaning.>The reality is impossible to escape, as beyond Germany the Bundesliga draws no eyes, international viewership has faded into obscurity, and outside of Bayern there is a void of genuine world-class talent. The league is seen as a patchwork of small clubs with limited reach, serving only as a feeder system for the Premier League, where the best inevitably move on to build their careers. More than one Bayern player has even questioned whether the Bundesliga can still be considered part of Europe’s top five leagues.>The only relevance left is the Champions League, yet that is where the frustration cuts deepest. Bayern’s players know that on the European stage their reputations are measured, but they also know the board has failed to build a squad capable of competing with the elite. Bayern dominate a league no one watches or respects, while stepping into Europe underprepared and undermanned.>For those who came from the Premier League, the contrast is glaring. They left the world’s strongest league for one that feels, and de facto is, provincial and irrelevant, and they now see that even the one competition that still matters is treated by the board without the urgency it demands.>Inside the dressing room, and even among employees in the lower departments of the headquarters, the conclusion is often repeated. Bayern may gather trophies at home, but in truth they stand alone in a league of shadows, while Europe passes them by and the world no longer questions but quietly accepts that the Bundesliga has slipped out of football’s elite.
>>150700279Bundes and LelLiga were always joke leagues, no different from Ligue 1 sponsored by BLACKED. The only European leagues that matter are the EPL and Serie A.
>>150700391>did he lie tho?1. Bayern hasnnt won both the league and DFB cup in 5 years, with many humiliations2. Bayern has been irrelevant internationally since then as well.Bayern is in crisis, not simply the Bundesliga. Who here seriously thinks Bayern can win the championsleague. If they make it to semis its already overshooting realistic expectations.
>>150726645>2. Bayern has been irrelevant internationally since then as well.Vincent Kompany coaches Bayern. Read that back a few times. What a bizarro reality.
>>150727625Its pathetic. Another Bayern humiliation was the coach search that followed rejection after rejection just to end up with Pep's grift.
>>150701014Every single British flag on here is a Sky six customer who does this weird thing of supporting "the league" as a whole (I'd never encountered this before visiting /sp/). I'm suspicious of all British flags.

Bad fielder and baserunner, and has been rather fortunate at the plate (high babip, wOBA well above xwOBA). Best case scenario he's David Ortiz like, which is good. But he has an alarmingly high strikeout rate, he could become a Chris Davis type if he doesn't get that under control.
what team will they trade him to for bubble gum and a used voklswagen?
Can he win ballon d'or?

Indonesia is good at futsal.FIFA should encourage futsal in these countries with large cities. It's an inexpensive sport that requires only a small amount of space.
>futsalknew it'd be a mongrel complex macaco kek
I wish futsal was more popular, It's really fun to watch and has way less semen slurping than regular football. I was really good at it as a kid and hated playing on huge fields of slippery grass but you can barely make a living with football here much less with futsal.FIFA STREET 5 never ever.

>>150734786>barely had a better defensive performance against the commies than the giants did the week before >arguably a WORSE performance because giants couldn't stay on the field to ever take off any time Packers are the early frauds of the year. The bears vs lions game will tell us a lot about the division.
>>150734774>Parsons doesn't move the needle, he's never produced against them.I disagree. Unlike Dallas, he's got nothing but household names joining him on the Packers' front 7. LVN, Gary, Walker, Cooper. Wyatt is really coming on too in these first few games. Brooks and Wooden have been unsung heroes all along but their play is elevating too. This defense has a much higher ceiling with him on the field.

Or take down Kawhi Leonard and Steve Ballmer for using a green tech company to embezzle 28 million dollars anyway. Not everyone can be the executive editor of the New York Times.

>>150708090I respect Abe for being based enough to stick to SC Heerenveen for 90% of his career and scoring like 500+ goals for them
>>150708090Helmchen, Rooke, Deak, Lenstra, and Jones surely were prolific goal scorers, but they probably can’t be considered real world class players. At least not to the extent of Puskas, Messi, Ronaldo … and maybe even Bican, I‘d sayOf course, football back then was in the lucky position that not every player immediately left their home club for whatever top club that came knocking, so looking at their careers now is quite ungrateful because we expect someone who spent most of his career at PSV Chemnitz to be a bum who never had what it takes for a good club

>>150708090stat padding againts german tractor drivers doesn't count
>>150733158He wasn't even considered one of the best strikers of his era in Germany. Zero caps for the national team. But admittedly, he performed very well with Chemnitz, who were the third-best club in Saxony after VfB Leipzig and Dresdner SC, two genuine heavyweightsHelmchen must have had what it takes to play for them as well. He also scored three goals in a sensational win over Real Madrid once. So he wasn't a total dud, but I don't think people back then would have considered him superior to Edmund Conen, Ernst Lehner, and Rudolf Noack. Or Otto Harder, to go a few years back
