Americans dont dominate any of they sports they care about lmao
>>156510782Inb4 they start talking about their niche American football
>>156510843I will never understand why it wasn’t called American rugby
>>156510782Reminded me again how good the Japanese are at baseballIt's really something else honestly The throw accuracy is wild, not just the pitchers either
>>156510889Rugby is a type of football. They’re all just football. Always has been.
>>156510782All I see are a bunch of mickey mouse tournaments
>>156510843If the world actually cared they would lose at it too
>>156510782Reminder that the "Team USA" in baseball and hockey do not have the best players because their pro teams don't want their assets to be injured, and because the US viewers don't care about the international tournaments.The only sport where Team USA got serious about the world tournaments is Basketball starting with the Dream Team of the 1990's.
>>156510843>yfw they lose their flag football shit at the Olympics
>>156511339Also it's usually for the Olympics. The FIBA World Cup is still half-serious in USA. I didn't even know that there was a FIBA World Cup until you mentioned it.
>>156510782>yugoslaviaOkay, how?
>>156511339Its more like they dont send their superstars so they dong get fucking exposed
>>156511436yeah that final was a pretty good upset. Anyway my point still stands.
>>156511399That was back when Team USA was only college kids. Also Yugoslavia was a sport powerhouse. I remember they were good in soccer, basketball, various Olympics sports, etc.
>>156510889Rugby already existed
>>156510960They fluked win against Mexico in 2023 and got destroyed by Venezuela in 2026
>>156511399We wuz pretty strong when we didnt constantly kill eachother, also we have some tall cunts
Olympic basketball is more relevant than the fiba world cup and the win everythingWbc is more relevant than baseball Olympics but even then Japan has won it more times
>>156511833I don't think at any point in history Americans were better at baseball than Japanese were at their recent zenith
>>156510782damn
>>156510782America, as in "The United States", is an economic zone - nothing more. it is a country of disparate peoples with the only common background being the ability to earn the most amount of money and a "dream" of having a big business. Sport only fits into that by way of making the most money - none of those titles you have shared here grant enough RoI to be valuable for investors (also Americans).
The US sends their Z-teams to these tournaments. They won all three times they entered the world American Football tournament and they only sent undrafted players. The NFL and CFL combined have like 2000 roster spots so they were sending like the 2000th best players in the country at best
>>156510782Our pitching aces never pitch at the WBC or Olympics.
>>156510782I didn't even notice that half of those charts are in SpanishProof that Canada is a latino nation
>>156512169>world American Football tournamentNo one plays that shit bro
>>156511399Balkans are good at basketball, there are still elite players playing in the NBA today.
>>156510782>Cubahow?
>>156512326Baseball is a meme
>>156512264They send random gym teachers for the world baseball tournament
>>156510782Oh shit, we won the Ice Hockey World Cup AND the Olympics? Based, we don’t even care about the sport.
>>156511339The Worlds in hockey are a meme that Euros get to farm because plenty of their top talent plays in Europe, yeah, but the Olympics is pretty much as good as it gets. No coping there for you, or for us when we've lost it to the Nords or you guys
>>156510782they do dominate in Ultimate Frisbee
>w-we dont care about being the best in our own sportsFucking copers
>>156510782None of those competitions get our best players for various reasons. Also Yugoslavia doesn't even exist anymore
>>156510889Because it's not Rugby, and Rugby is football you retard.
>>156511339>because their pro teams don't want their assets to be injuredthat's some hilarious reasonwhat self respecting athlete backs away from an opportunity to prove he is the best ?
>usa lost to venezuela in baseball>in 2026what happened here?
>>156513192the one told not to by his team who pays him hundreds of millions
>>156513192Most of them? The idea that athletes care about le heckin competitive is marketing drivel. Actual psychos who want to be the best and dominate others become executives and politicians. Athletes are mostly simpletons who just want to play a game and want a paycheck.A lot of them don’t even have a choice in the matter as their contract will leave it up to their club’s decision. Their club usually declines because they will have insurance policies on their players that typically won’t cover international play. That’s a big issue in baseball for instance
>>156513296>>156513262well at the very least that is a mentality that leads you away from winning a world cup
>>156513245Baseball is more popular in countries like Venezuela and Peurto Rico than the US believe it or not. It's even more popular in Japan
>>156513381i doubt it's true for venezuela
>>156513348Not really, the ones who win have a large financial incentive into doing so. It’s just about money really.
>>156510782>baseballI don't know a lot about that sport, but surely the US has by far the most talent depth. Baseball seems random enough to allow others to beat the US, but surely they have the most quality overall and would win most of the time if everyone actually showed up with their best. Baseball seems like one of these sports that lacks a proper international tournament, the WBC might be on the right path at least>Ice hockeyThe World Cup is a joke anyway, let's be real. And everyone knows Canada was the dominant nation in this sport for most of its history. Nowadays, though, the US seem to get the upper hand>BasketballNowadays likely the second-biggest team sport in the world. But the international tournaments have only been serious since the 1990s, and basketball was nowhere near as global back then. The World Cup unfortunately still is a bit of a sideshowI wish ice hockey in particular would grow and become more of an international event. The gap between CAN/USA at their best and the rest of the world, even top nations like Sweden or Finland, is large. And below that, you've got nations like >us, with teams that can barely compete. In total, there are only ten worthwhile teams and the best of these beats the worst of these by like 10 goals if push comes to shove. A shame. It would be nice to change that. Same for how dominant the NHL is - you can see it hurts the international appeal of the sport since American owners are massive cunts and only want to protect their assetsBasketball is slightly better in this regard, probably mostly by virtue of being more accessible
>>156513192I think FIFA forces the continental confederations to not prevent players from going to the World Cup. We don't have that in North American sports. So any of our sports league can decide they don't want their players in an international tournament, and we instantly lose our best players. Yes, our sports leagues are run by jewish New York lawyers.
>>156513381>>156513462well okay some sources say it's the most popular sport in venezuela. weird.
>>156513462You can look it up if you don't believe me, it's more popular than Soccer there. There's over 50 current Venezuelans playing in the MLB right now
>>156513467financial incentive is just one factor, if it was the determining factor, then someone like Messi wouldn't come back again and again to try to dominate and write his name in sport history.
>>156513531American oil companies brought baseball with them to Venezuela in the late 1800s. It's probably a similar story with Cuba
>>156510782The problem here isn't that the US suck at these sports, the problem is that they have undermined efforts ot have real international tournaments for yearsAre they the best at basketball? Yes. Although others have caught up a lot this century, and the US team isn't as dominant anymore as their individual star power suggests. And most of these guys are about to retire. It might get interesting soon, who knows?Are they the best at ice hockey? Everyone knows Canada was the top dog historically. But the future seems to belong to the US. Everyone else except Canada and maybe Russia has no chance. Maybe Sweden, Finland, Czechia can win against the best US team if a miracle occurs. Everyone else cannot even dreamAre they the best at baseball? No idea, but I'd guess so
>>156513493the two best baseball players in the world are not american, they're cuban and japanesethe USA has the most depth but its stars are pansies and they also get hurt all the time
>>156513641Japan and some of the Carribbean countries are probably better at Baseball desu. US is probably top 3 or 4 there
if our biggest, fastest, strongest, blackest athletes played soccer, you'd have another thing coming EURO SCUM
>>156513835Imagine if Anthony Edwards, Myles Garrett, and Aaron Judge played soccer!
>>156510782Alright but Yugoslavia isn’t a real country. It was a mish mash of a bunch of nations shoved together for no good reason by a commie scum who just wanted to rule more people. It’d be the same as saying that Western Europe has won 12 world cups. It has but it ain’t.
>>156513835This is the most cucked board on 4chan. Someone go and tell gif to quit posting monkey dick porn and come and talk about worshiping talentless ngubu atholetes.
>>156510782We don’t give a shit about these international meme competitions, our best players never participateThe only international sporting event we really care about is the summer Olympics, go check the medal counts for me
>>156510843Where’s Mexico on that list?
>>156514267They dont play those gay sports
>>156513192Actually, it's the same for football. Clubs are obligated to lend their players for events in the FIFA calendar, but the Olympics is not one of them. It's up to the club to decide.
>>156511436>>156514230We raped your ngobos in the summer olimpics
>>156514620do a lot of famous european football players not play the olympics because of that?
>>156513462our national baseball team is entirely composed of cubans and venezuelans
imagine if we rostered our ACTUAL stars in the WBC instead of bums and frauds
>>156515432yo cool it with the antisemitism
>>156510782I like how you purposely don't include the Olympics for basketball which is the tournament we take seriously vs the fiba one. As for the other ones Canada has always been better at ice hockey and we have just recently started taking wbc more seriously. I won't say we are the best baseball nation currently just have the widest amount of talent along with Japan. Plus we are always competitive in these tournaments usually getting in the top 3 if we don't win it.
>>156510889Rugby is also football. There's various sets of "rules" for football, "American" football is actually gridiron football. Rugby is either Rugby Union or Rugby League football. Soccer is Association Football. Both Canadian and American football were once considered rugby at one point but became there own things due to rule changes.
>>156515288>2024 medals>USA 126>Argentmemea 3Hm
>>156510782These baseball tournaments look like they were invented past the era baseball was considered cool. And "basketball world cup" is misleading as hell, nobody gives a shit about that, the summer olympics are the only international tournament that matters. That basketball world cup shit is for guys playing to potentially get a spot on the USA Olympic team, the best players don't have to play in that and already have a spot on team USA
>>156515675>>156511436This one?
>>156516752>Under 19 cupYou can't be serious and as I said we take the Olympics seriously
>>156510782The best MLB pitchers are not allowed to play or allowed one start at most. Even without them we're still hyper competitive.
>>156516847Are you fucking retarded? It was the basketball olimpics gold medal 2004 your ngobus left crying
>>156511399Balkans are the most athletic people in the planet, very highly overrepresented in many sports
>>156516919Wow you won in 2004 and then the US won every other year but you ignore that. Upsets happen it's how sports work it's not an exact science.
>>156517018Its literally like the 6th or sport here or maybe lower than that and we raped all the ngobo superstars dream team
>>156517092And you haven't been relevant since. Though you're retarded and lack the ability to comprehend that great teams don't always win the game but they are consistent at it. We had a group of amateurs compete for the ice hockey Olympics and won but I'm not about to say the other country are now frauds because they still constantly win over us.
>>156511037The schism should've never happened, the clubs that refused the FA laws and went ahead and founded their own church are heretics
>>156512671>Oh shit, we won the Ice Hockey World Cupone time In the 1920s or something when teams could have canadian mercs
>>156517254Based
