World cup around the corner meaning it's that time again
Managed by Bill Belichick
>>153943955i will never understand what americans think makes a good soocer playerdo they think you can use your hands
>>153943955most of this team is washed now
>>153945101>what Americans think makes a good playerBeing AmericanAnd being black(redundancy, I know)
>mad over baitclassic r/sports
to be a great athlete you gotta be big, strong, sexy, gigantic cock, black... wait the fuck did you just say europoor?
If "if"s and "but"s were candies and nuts we'd all have a merry christmas
>>153945101if everyone in the US played soccer instead of our four main sports... we would have a much more talented international team. i fail to see why this is a controversial or "hot" take. did you not play sports in your life? there are certain people who are natural athletes and float into any sport with complete ease. it's incredibly rare for someone to be a fucking pro level athlete in one sport and be a complete stooge in others. if zidane was born in quebec he probably would have been a pro hockey player, and vice versa for n. american athletes and soccer
>>153947526>natural athletes = football skill
>>153947604this post is so moronic it broke my brain>athletic talent doesn't translate to success in sportsor is this the semantic autism you euros have about what "athlete" means. usain bolt is a genetic freak but he is a horrible athlete, watch him try to play soccer. to reiterate, the top soccer players would also thrive playing different sports. it isn't a one way street
>>1539479816'8 da'quan doesn't have the low centre of gravity or foot co-ordintarion to play football all the freaks in the balkans play basketball (in which they can still field a team close to your level with a 100th of the population l) or handball because they can't control the ball your top athletes would be sunday league players at best
>>153947526>"international team"KekYes, you're all diaspora
>>153945101The national team and amount of top level players will never be better than what it is because of this so it's a blessing for real americans and yurokicks
>>153948063lol took me a secondalso fuck off go look at the "french" team or your useless coons going 0/3 in the pens>>153948061stop putting words in my mouth. i never said 7 foot dudes would be good at soccer. meet my points straight on or fuck off you manlet chink retard
>>153943955
>>153948177had this exact squad in fifa ultimate team back in the day. all of the players had at least 90 strength and other teams couldnt fucking touch me
>>153947526>>153948104Have you considered the possibility that it *seems* you have a lot of top level players *because* you have 4~5 main sports, and not just 1?I get what you guys are saying but athleticism isn't everything and although you would definitely be better it's unlikely you would be dominating anything. Baseball, American Football and Hockey translate horribily to Football. Basketball is skill-wise and tactically speaking the closest, but it's much easier to play Basketball as a Football player (besides shooting), than the opposite, and it's not even close. The latter I know from experience.Brazil isn't elite in just Football either, we have Volleyball and MMA. And I doubt that if all of those guys moved to footie they would be that relevant.
>>153945101it's the fundamental misunderstanding that being athletic = you will dominate by default, of course they make no mention that the current top 2 players in the NBA are by their own standards are a pair of slow, fat and unathletic whites.being athletic might get your foot in the door but what separates that from the usual pace merchant who goes nowhere in football?
>>153949166>luka doncic isn't athleticwhat the fuck does "athletic" mean to you this is a linguistic issue. athleticism is being able to read the game and make good decisions, and having good coordination hand/eye eye whatever. someone like andrea pirlo is massively athletic unlike some ngubu pacebabby who knocks in a header every 5 games for Poopensharten FC
>>153949414being athletic means being physically capable. we use the term technical for skills
>>153949414>athleticism is being able to read the game and make good decisions, and having good coordinationBut not really the definition at all
>>153949414don't pretend that for Americans it's not a codeword for black and shiny
>>153948177only mbebwe the realistic name theres no way the others are real black african names
>>153943955He forgot gilgeous alexander and ohtani
>>153947526> If zidane was born in quebec he probably would have been a pro hockey player, and vice versaThis unironically has to be the funniest shit I've read so far in 2026The fact that an actual human being with a functioning brain can say this with a straight face and actually believe it is just incredible
>>153950910And Giannis and jokic and Juan Soto
>>153950910this, messi too
>>153949414Are you mentally challenged?Not as a meme or an insult, but like for real? From a medical standpoint
>>153949166Almost every team in the epl is fully made up of pacey ngbus
>>153951089The EPL is 40% black the NFL and NBA are 70% black
>>153945101more mutt = better player
>>153951100There is a huge discrepancy between the top epl teams and the bottom epl teams
>>153943955look at that nose
>if if if if shut up americans
Lmao
>>153943955MEET POTENTIAL FOOTBALL SUPERPOWERIMAGINE IF THEY CARED
>>153951089I mean not really if we're being honest
>>153945101The best players are blacks and Italians and we have blacks and Italians. Pretty simple. We also have Germans if we need them
imagine if landon donavon cared about basketball
>>153945101It’s a meme dude We’re retarded but we’re not THAT retarded
>>153945101They see muscle definition and go insane, weird people brainwashed by superheroes
>>153951089That's because ngubus are cheap, their speed is very versatile from a tactical stand point, and England is beyond cucked of a country. That doesn't mean shit skill wise though
>>153945101The average American has an unshakable belief that black Americans are genetically superior ubermensch that would dominate every sport if they tried.Not even meming or being sarcastic, this is a core belief of American identity for the last 40 years at least.
>>153968487It's taught in the schools
>>153943955So which teams are no longer playing it, or is it only Iran? I was hoping for Iraq to drop too so Bolivia gets it easier...
>>153943955You can tell all these third worlders are talking shit because they are insecure and know the USA will mog their loser country if we actually cared about their poverty sport. Just look at what happened to hockey, we broke Can'tnadians mentally and caused a national meltdown after we took hockey serious. The USA is the greatest sporting country on earth and it ain't even close
>>153968487you still mad bro? USA owns you in every aspect of your life
>>153943955What phenotype is this?
>>153970890full blooded american
>>153949414>athleticism is being able to read the game and make good decisions, and having good coordination
If Japan cared about Soccer
>>153947526>there are certain people who are natural athletes and float into any sport with complete easeIt takes more than athleticism to be good at football, it's not like handegg.
>>153947526>it's incredibly rare for someone to be a fucking pro level athlete in one sport and be a complete stooge in othersAbsolutely. It's even rarer to see examples of it. We only really have Usain Bolt switching to football (soccer) and Michael Jordan switching to baseball to work off of and what great examples to prove your point they are.
>>153949414>athleticism is being able to read the game and make good decisions, and having good coordination hand/eye eye whatever.I guarantee you most americans that make the dominate football argument are not using the word with that definition in mind. Also that's not really athleticism at least in football terms. Its used to refer to the physicality and speed of a player. What you described would be technical ability
Imagine if England meets America in the knockouts this world cup
