Futbol (Soccer)
 

If America actually cared about soccer and their athletes saw soccer as a serious sport, they'd end up dominating thanks to their huge diverse population and economy. Probably win every World Cup. Imagine LeBron, JJ Watt and Megatron as soccer players. Game over by half time every game.

If Europe actually cared about American Football and their athletes saw American Football as a serious sport, they'd end up dominating thanks to their huge diverse population and economy. Probably win every World Cup. Imagine Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie as American Football players. Game over by half time every game.

If anyone actually cared about either sport and their athletes all broke both of their legs at the same time, they'd end up dominating hospitals thanks to their huge steroid-using population and exorbitant salaries. Probably win every Jello cup. Imagine Dan Marino, David Beckham and Ben Roethlisberger in body casts. Games over forever.

It's more over how these athletes were raised with sports in America. I'm not trying to be racist at all, but the majority of blacks in America have grown up in neighborhoods or with friends that play basketball or football during a lot of their time, as have whites. There isn't a ton that the US as a whole can do about it really and I don't see a real reason to. The MLS/US National team still dominates over a lot of leagues/countries even though every time you walk into the streets you don't see kids playing soccer outside no matter where it is like many other countries.

To be fair LeBron would dominate any sport he chooses to play. Dude's just a freak of nature, might just be one of the most polished athletes to ever live. Something tells me he would look really out of place on a soccer field though.

I feel like Chris Paul would be an amazing soccer player though.

Another patriot sucking his own countries ****.

Stick with basketball chump

Shots fired

Any great athlete can play any sport if they put in lots of time and practice, really. America just doesn't care about soccer as much as the rest of the world, and the rest of the world doesn't care about American sports as much as America.

Go Barnsley!

The thing is, America just has better ATHLETES though. Athletically Americans have an advantage because sports are huge part of the diverse culture. Case in point, the Olympics. If this was translated to soccer, USA would dominate because of the giant economy and resources to dedicate.

Look at womens soccer, USA regularly dominates it because they invest in it with their population and resources. Proving my point that if America cared about men's soccer it's reasonable and logical to assume they'd be #1. Again though, other countries might not ever be able to beat the women athletes since other countries don't really give them freedom.

China has a huge economy and population, you barely even see their team get past the opening stages of the World Cup

They're pretty damn good at MOBA's though...and every other video game.

This guy is seriously kidding himself when America's "diverse" economy imports more than it exports.

Remember 1904 Canada beat America 7-0

Canada better athletes thnxs

Almost as bad as when Norway beat America 11-0

and obviously America doesn't have better athletes because I live in Canada

Nuffsed

That picture just made my day...

canada,australia both very relevant countries and call it soccer
italy calls it calcio
get the fig over it

USA#1

LOL EUROs

Funny thing is, your country came up with it, and when it was 'too american' for you all, you stopped calling it that. Snobbery at its finest.

So we came up with our own sport instead and called it American Football, just to spite your inbred empire.

Also, we came up with basketball too. So kindly please stop sucking our country's ****.

USA!
USA!
USA!

I bet the USA's women could beat any other country's men.

The United States is the world's second largest exporter next to China, which is notorious for sh!tty products and labor practices.

We're okay with being #2 there because we like our kids to be able to keep all of their fingers by the time they turn 7.

xD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A true American over there folks
This is why we wanted to depart from them and their terms

This is why I hate these types of arguments. One person says their country is so much better and all other countries are **** in comparison. Then the people from those countries start defending themselves and say bad things about the other country. People not involved in the argument then get offended because both sides are talkin smack about their country. Then nobody's happy.

Lmao draenin. Took the bait and got expoosed. You win american bingo!

Im just playing :P I love our american cousins really
They gave us Madonna

:love:

If sardon avtualy cared about sports he would have posted somethng relevent

we call it soccer eh

The term soccer doesnt really make any sense
we should all call it football

Yep I hate those arguments
They all know canada is a better country but they contnue to talk smack and in the end nobody is happy

Welcome to internet message boards.

aye, Alex Morgan tho

I think biggest problem with soccer is it's a game for 3 year olds who are only capable of walking and not using hands at the same time

So it makes sense it is revered by manchildren in manchester

Hopefully humans outside of USA develop fine motor skills eventually

Problem is u euros own zero guns so also have 0 concept of masculinity

Look at the salty europoors in this thread lmao. This is an american website that you're viewing on the american invented internet, you play by america's rules and call it soccer, this can be owed to america for saving europe's ass in two consecutive world wars thx.

^

and buy some guns while you're at it

An American website using Londons Timezone?

And you wouldn't have the Internet without computers, the first invented by Alan Turing during world war 2 (a gay british man)

Sorry for spitting in your test tubes, this is a football thread after all. Not a soccer thread

Came across this out of boredom:

Not to be confused with the Internet (a global system of networked computers invented in the USA), the World Wide Web, invented by British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee, is the system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet.

british have been irrelevant since ww2 deal with it bro

North Korea breeds true athletes.

Red team FTW.

No arguement here :(

wow when did john atanasoff become british and rename to alan turing?

Not only londons timezone
Its Quebecs timezone too :D

school shootings dont make masculinity
the fact that they need to make bullet proof clothes for kids is a problem
atleast europeans aren't under the constant threat of some idiot coming into their house with a loaded gun and killing them.

The right of a firearm is not a right it is a tool that should be in the use only by hunters and policemen for their respected useage.

Just be grateful America lets Europe have soccer. If we cared enough about it we'd take away the one thing you have left. America is already cleaning up and fixing FIFA because Europeans are also corrupt like FIFA. Don't even care about soccer but have to fix Europe's mess again, just like the two world wars they started.

Quebec and London don't both use GMT please get out of my country (USA) until you are educated past kindergarten

Hold up there homie. Good on Turing for helping the Polish bureau crack Enigma and being a pioneer computer scientist.

That was pretty cool and all, but being patriotic about him is quite ironic considering he was pushed to suicide by the anti-homosexuality laws in the UK.

I support homosexuality personally, the UK didn't unfortunately :( it's a shame that we only knew about his contributions 50 years later or so because of it being such a top secret thing

I found it ironic that the queen honoured him a long time after he died and homosexuality is not illegal, like that would do any good now he's dead

This made my day - nice trolling dood

Look at what happened to Freddy Adu. Promising American soccer player in the same mould as Zinedine Zidane and Marco van Basten. Went to europe to play and the teams ruined his development on purpose because they couldn't stomach the fact he was going to own everyone. They didn't want an American superstar. We all know this is because European soccer fans are racist and would just chant monkey noises at him and throw bananas because still not as enlightened as USA.

They would do that to any black player, even the british or french.

computer
kəmˈpjuːtə/
noun
an electronic device which is capable of receiving information (data) in a particular form and of performing a sequence of operations in accordance with a predetermined but variable set of procedural instructions (program) to produce a result in the form of information or signals.
a person who makes calculations, especially with a calculating machine.

Alan Turing made the first machine matching this term. Other people used the idea of a machine that could recieve information and do stuff with it and now we have computers that do other things

i thought you couldnt be that stupid so i think he meant london ontario

Ahhhh, good'ol America, can't show their dominance over soccer on the field so they have to do it on internet forum boards

I hope you are grateful to America. Sure you have access to universal healthcare, higher standards of living, better public schools and a vast wealth of natural resources; but do you realise it's America investing so heavily in its defense to have the most fearsome unparallelled military in the world that allows you to have these things? We're the only thing stopping Russia steamrolling you so perhaps you shouldn't be sneering at people who guard you while you sleep.

you guys should learn to guard the net first
