>>154968539>and Women's world cupsKWAV
>>154968320this is nuts
>Russia>powerfulThey're Burkina Faso with rockets, and not even that many. Their economy is a joke. Yeah, they'd be winning the war against Europe if the US weren't there to deliver, but that's not because Russia is strong - it's because Europe is pathetic when it comes to military and politicsAlso, football is the most popular sport in Russia. It's just that ice hockey serves as more of a point of pride since it is a less competitive sport and therefore easier for Russia to yield good resultsIt's also definitely not like China does not care about football. Virtually every urban Chinese person bandwagons some European club (usually Premier League, especially Manchester United), and China had a massive campaign to become a big football power. They just couldn't get it done. They are at the very least a big consumer market and would definitely like to be more than thatEven the US cannot be said to fully ignore the sport anymore. It's not even close to being the most popular, but it is a factor nowadays
>>154968320>ruskigot fucked over by jewfa>chink2shit2play>muttsretarded
>>154968320Genuine question. What would you lads say is the 3rd most powerful country in the world at this point? 1 and 2 gotta be US and China but Russia can't even power project into Ukraine or Syria, they're basically the Tottenham of geopolitics. Is it Germany? France? They can at least enact regime changes.
>>154968320What's Russia's flag doing in that pic?
>>154968339It is when you are hosting it.
>>154968320>usa>powerfulm8, this year alone they already lost a war not to mention all other lost wars since ww2
>>154968320so you saw that retarded pol comment in that other thread and decided we need a whole separate thread for that?fuck off back to /int/

>>154972969>Is it Germany? France? They can at least enact regime changes.what? how? where?
>>154968320Why is the UShithole of Assholism allowed to play and mother Russia not?
>>154968508at any moment trump can airstrike their plants and iran is fucked for the next 400 years. The only reason it hasn't been done yet is because iran fucking over the rest of the middle east, europe, and china with their oil is funny as fuck and barely affects us as much as it affects them
>>154968727t. Loses to both Finland and Norway at hockey.
>>154979143Russia illegally invaded a sovereign nation.
>>154968816How are we so pathetic with military when just Paris and London together have a bigger GDP than all of Russia ?
>>154979708>belg*an trying to take credit for things brits and the french did
>>154972969Ireland will be a superpower by 2050. The US, Russia, and for some reason, Ireland, will be the leaders in a massive bioweapon arms race that will start in 2035.
>>154968320To be fair, china gives a shit. It's just that they suck at the sport so they never make it to the WC
>>1549793692 more weeks!
>>154979508The US wishes it could invade Iran but no one wants to die for it
>>154981756>so they never make it to the WCwe did in 2002 you fucking retarded mutt.
>>154968320>russiabruv thinks he's on the team
>>154979123>he doesn't know about the French economic neo-colonialism in Africa>he doesn't know about the African Franc and how half the currencies in West Africa are controlled by Paris>he doesn't know about the Rwandan GenocideC'est finit
>>154968320whats the US doing there, if we're talking about global superpowers it has to be pic related
>>154968320They banned russia
>>154984468I miss Russia tbqhwy always a dark horse always putting up a fight
>>154982971And that's because there's no Japan and South Korea to cockblock them during qualifiers
>>154979432t.0-4
>>154968539Might as well count Dinoguay's 2 Gold medals + mundialito
>>154984518lol they fucking suck, they wouldn't qualify anywaythey were a meme team like 15 years ago and then it was all downhill
>>154968320Russia does like football. Just because their NT is mid doesn't mean they don't care.Same with China, they like watching it but they suck at playing it.It's only the United States that truly doesn't care about football. But you'd expect that to change as all the WASPs get replaced by immigrants.
