400 meters n under in track until recent drugged Jamaicans.

None. And guess what, apart from soccer, all the other countries doesnt give too much shit to these secundary sports either, so it is fair game with good ole uncle sam land.
So much for this "if the US cared about soccer they would dominate it (or any other team sport for that matter)" argument...
Pick any number of Olympic sports. China excluded, we bitch-slapped the entire planet at the last Olympics. I know it stings, but your country just doesn't produce the number of top athletes that America does.

Team sports dude...everyone knows the olympics is a contest between capitalism and communism to see how much drugs you can shove into a 15 year old to win gold medals. Seems the Jamaicans have cottoned on to this quite well.
On a plus point Mcdowell is about to win the US Open...get in Uk for the win!!!

cough *black america* cough cough *not white america* cough cough

When teh rest of the world catches up to the top drugs that the USA has access to then it will pretty much be an even playing field.

No fair, jamaicans get extra practice by running from cops on a daily basis...

HAHA great post, US sucks !!!

If the united states every fielded an american football team and played the rest of the world the score would literally be 100 to 0 in every game.

By the time they catch up you think we'll have something new?

We don't have to...It really is true that if more American's liked soccer we would have one unstoppable team and would dump boat loads of money in it...

Do you think that this is impossible the other way around? (If the rest of the world really cared about handegg or basketball, there would be another country out there that would be the best)

Well seeing as how America can still make it to the World Cup and any euro or canadian football team couldn't touch a NFL team I don't think so...

lol well canadians own american in hockey, But even though they own 5 6ths of the nhl they dont care about hockey lol.

we bitch-slapped the entire planet at the last Olympics.
If your idea of bitch-slapping is U.S. winning 9 gold medals vs. Canada's 14 gold medals at Vancouver olympics, then ok.. you're right ::)

no
I know its hard for other to realize especially with the US hate the flows from alot of countries for one reason or another but the US does in general have better atheletes than the rest of the world...
the sheer size and agility of the professional football players is beyond the scope of just about every sport outside of the US...
just wouldnt happen
baseball maybe but there is no way that another nation could compete with the US in american football

Yeah, and America was in the finals with them...I do admit that there are a whole bunch of great hockey players out of Canada and Russia though

this.
America has many times the population of most other nations as well as the hilarious advantage in terms of space/resource/financial/time investment per promising individual than any other nation....
if America cared as much about soccer as they did the Superbowl, they would win the World Cup 3 out of 4 times. thats just the facts. i love international soccer as much as anyone and follow it and root for other teams but the only reason America doesnt Dominate that is because only 1/657 americans even gives a shit about it
-
Americans love the team sports because the american people isn't evolved enough yet. Team sport athletes lack discipline that the individual sport athletes have, and I don't even consider them real athletes.

hahahahha, ok, as far as Individual talents go Basketball allows the greatest ability for individual greats to stand out. no great soccer player could take over and win games/series the way Jordan/Olajuwon/Duncan/Kobe could....

Who gives a fuck about the winter Olympics? I was talking about the Summer Olympics. ::)
How convenient to 'decide' winter olympics are no real olympics ::)
And in 2008, China had more golds than U.S., there goes your bitch-slapping theory out of the window :-*

China has 4-5 times the population of the US and makes it enough of a priority to 'make a statement' during the olympics that they make it a national priority to push their athletes to the limits and juice them to the gills
haha we all remember their 10-year old gymnastic team
-

The rest of the world has caught up...China themselves have said that they can't compete with the black athletes so, they have gone for those obsure events...because they would get their collective tails whipped in other sports
And the Euros tend to dominate the bike races, and they are on the sauce so much, you could call them Ragu.

haters keep hating and excuses rolling in..!! Thank god U.S doesn't push their athletes to the limit - I'm sure they're drug free too..!! ::)

He's right? Our athletes have a choice---either you do or you don't. Nobody forced Marion Jones, and she's was runningtrack since way back in the day. If she was Chinese, they would have forced her or tried saying that she would disgrace her family or Nation.

ok...if the US put all their efforts and talents into international soccer.instead of the NFL/NBA/MLB...we would SLAUGHTER everyone.
imagine kevin garnett as a 6-11 athletic Goalie and lebron james/kobe bryant as strikers...hahahaha it would be a bloodbath

Your disproving your own point. If it really were such a competitive sport and not based on height, then one skilled athlete would faced alot of skilled opposition. In reality the relative lack of skill means one guy that is a true athlete can dominate. This dont happen in soccer.
Americans still believe there is something unique about them that makes them better at everything then everyone else. When in reality the only advantage they have is demographics. Per person there is almost nothing they are good at. There the zapp brannigan of sport. Well send wave after wave of people at the sport and well get good at it. This dont work in soccer which is why the demograpically challenged, like soccer. Where culture and the ability to do something well on a per capita bases means success. Oh yeah sorry yanks but just check the stats of, income levels, education levels, life expectancy, height, development index, crime,
skilled professionals produced, health care, military usefulness(you spend trillions of dollars on a military yet cant control iraq).
But again this all comes down to culture. Americans love games of trivial number like a pitchers speed, or a linebackers weight. Because culturally speaking they dont really play the sports they watch, instead rely on minorities to do so. They never have to play the sport because they got the defence of oh im too short to small or i dont have blacks genetics. There are no cop outs in soccer your either good or you suck.

The rest of world really doesn't care about basketball either.
Except for Lithuania, but that's it.

LMAO so lundgrin let me get this straight your argument is that soccer is better b/c the average man can play it? BWHHAUAHHAHAH so you have a bunch of nobodies running around?
LMAO your best soccer players cant compare in athleticism to the best US basketball and football players plane and simple...
so you think that there is no skill involved in basketball or football? just brute strength?
watch some of these videos and learn you dumb ass
american football may seem like just a brute strength contest but that is so far from the truth its insane. American football is very relient on skill, fitness, teamwork and vision.
how much skill, fitness and vision do you think it takes to fight off a defender while tracking a ball and then make a one handed catch from almost 50 yards away? Never the less being able to hit a person with a football running at a full sprint that runs 40 yds in around 4 secs while trying to avoid 300 lb men trying to tackle you.
there is a ton of teamwork in the NFL watch some of the runs in this video and tell me that all the blocking isnt teamwork. Anytime you have a successfull pass or run you can be sure that alot of teamwork went into it, the ppl have to know who to block, whether or not the block and the let them go to engage someone else downt he field...whether or not the running back should block or go out for a pass.
Like I said I know on the surface American football doesnt look like it takes a lot of skill but thats just not paying attention. Everything from the linemen knowing their blocking assignments to a running back giving a stiff arm or a juke uses teamwork and skill
I leave you with one of the leagues best wide receivers and some of his best catches from last year...this man is a true athelete
-
and lundgrin whether you want to admit it or not the US does on a whole produce better atheletes than the rest of the world.
This is why we are always in the race for the medal count at the olympics...ive said it before put up your best soccer players and I will show you a US athelete that makes him look and perform like a high schooler... ::) ::) ::)
-
How convenient to 'decide' winter olympics are no real olympics ::)
And in 2008, China had more golds than U.S., there goes your bitch-slapping theory out of the window :-*
You're a retard as I mentioned China in my post. Brilliant reading comprehension. But you can go with the Winter Olympics, too. We still won the most medals (3rd most golds) in a bunch of sports that aren't significant here, once again showing that we do, in-fact, have the best athletes in the world. Canada, a winter sports haven, and a country that spent $50 million to make sure they won the most gold medals, had to take it down to the last few days of the games just to pass us. Even took them to the limit in their national sport and a sport that's not among our 1st or 2nd most popular. Ha ha ha.
Take away the gold medals the Chinese won with their 12 year old gymnasts and we beat them. Still beat them in overall medals regardless. We also don't test children for things like flexibility at the age of 3 and then steal them from their families and throw them in group schools where they do nothing but train a specific sport for 12 hours a day until they're old enough to fake their age and get them into the Olympics. ::)
It must suck having to constantly reassure yourself that your country's athletes aren't inferior to America's in every way, shape and form.

how many global team sports are there?...........Soccer sucks!

Let me guess. This thread was started by a European who's pissed that we don't, and never will, give a shit about soccer/football?

Let me see I dont know the other sports the rest of the world plays other than Olympic type stuff and ruby, soccer. Maybe occasional ping pong or bowling?

Why does U.S. send athletes to the winter olympics if they're "not important"? ???
-

x2. I'd rather watch grass grow than watch soccer. As I've stated before, soccer is a kid's game to most in the U.S. and non-Americans get pissed because they love it so much.

We win at the only sport that matters.. the sport of killing all the weak countries that get in our way

Say it again y'all
Soccer! huh good God
What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing
Say it again
Soccer! Whoa, Lord ...
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me?
Soccer! It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
Soccer! Friend only to the Weak
Soccer! It's an enemy to all mankind
The thought of Soccer blows my mind
Soccer has caused unrest in the younger generation
Induction then destruction-
Who wants to die?
Ohhh? Soccer Good God y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it, Say it, Say it
Soccer! Uh-huh Yeah - Huh!
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me?
Soccer! It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
Soccer! It's got one friend, that's the Retards
Soccer has shattered many a young mans dreams
Made him disabled bitter and queer
Life is much to precious to spend playing Soccers these days
Soccer can't give life, it can only take it away
Soccer! Huh Good God y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
Soccer! Whoa, Lord ...
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me?
Soccer! It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
Soccer! Friend only to the Losers
Peace Love and Understanding;

They say we must fight to keep our real sports
But Lord knows there's got to be a better way
Soccer! Huh Good God y'all
What is it good for?
You tell me
Say it, Say it, Say it
Soccer! Huh Good God y'all
What is it good for?
Stand up and shout it.
Nothing!

b/c soccer players never do steroids right? ::) ::) ::)
dont let facts get in the way...
you have one moron arguing that soccer takes more skill than athleticism...
ok well skills are learned...so what do you think is going to happen when you have more athletic players learning those skills??? hahahahah
so what that leads to is are soccer players more athletic than basketball and football players...Ill let you answer that one ;)

Soccer players can play at this altitude. lets put your football player there and see what happens.
La Paz, Bolivia (3,600 meters or 11,811 feet) or in Quito, Ecuador (2,800 meters or 9,186 feet).

LMAO mile high stadium denver...
again that has only to do with conditioning...if football players played there regularly they would get used to it..
football players are hands down better atheletes than soccer players...
just as fast carrying 20+ lbs more muscle faster in springs...they are stonger, jump higher and are generally more athletic than soccer players
fuking deal with it
-

You guys don't have the competition level in your junior level. In europe their higher level of competition starts earlier. It would take a couple of generations of building your league up. It's not just about having the best coaching it's about having little kids playing against very high level players. The only way the usa could compete if they were constantly getting 6 or 7 year old kids to play against europeans or latin americans.

I disagree with the only way is getting our kids to play other countries kids...I understand what youre saying and it would help and speed the process along but it wouldnt be a must.
but I do agree that it would take some time, soccer is in no way a priority here in the US its an after thought for us but given time we would become one of the top contenders in the world at soccer if we started to apply ourselves at it...
that cannot be said about other countries in our sports...no matter what the US will always be dominant in football and in basketball as well but to a lesser degree...
-
Definitely lacrosse. I believe that the U.S. has only not won the World Lacrosse Championship twice.

Please how high is the mile high stadium?
LOL did you seriously just ask that question???
its a mile above sea level and youre still missing the point
ive already conceded you have better endurance but that is the only thing...that doesnt make you a better athelete... ::) ::) ::)

Do you know the difference between meters and feet?

Do you the difference between meters and feet?
most certainly do...
do you know the difference between conditioning and athleticism?
so by your logic the ethiopian long distance runners are the best athletes in the world... ::) ::) ::) you dim wit twit :D
again being able to run a longer distance doesnt make you a better athlete...we are stronger and just as fast, jump higher, hit harder and are generally all around better atheletes than soccer players...
DEAL WITH IT...others on here who love soccer admit it and its time you stop being so ignorant
-
most certainly do...

Are you sure?
La Paz, Bolivia (3,600 meters or 11,811 feet) or in Quito, Ecuador (2,800 meters or 9,186 feet).
At nearly 14,000 feet a.s.l. (twice as high as Denver)
Mile High Stadium 5,280 feet than at sea level

again so its your contention that having more endurance makes you a better athlete?

Dude you're so stupid don't even know the difference between meters and feet.
And i asked you if you knew it, and you said" most certainly do.."
Soccer players are training and playing soccer at 14,000 feet.
Who is the ignorant now?

Actually the US basketball team has got their @sses handed to them by the Spanish national team and the Argentinan national team, and guess what? Both of those teams are full of WHITE players LOL

US athletes are great, but soviets are fucking machines. Damn straight. They have the sport science down pat.

One Olympics. Then we decided to not fuck around and smashed faces in at the 2008 games. Even beat those awesome Argentinians by 20 points and Spain by 37 in qualifying and by 11 in the gold medal game.

I had never played soccer in my life until after my sophomore year in college. I don't think I had ever actually even kicked a real soccer ball until then. I was a fat defensive lineman spending a few weeks at a hostel in Poland with some friends.
Some guys asked us to join a game one day, but we didn't know the rules.
The guys tell us "you can't use your hands, but you can kick the ball, "head" it, or stop it with your chest. Other than that, you just try to kick it in the goal."
So I say, "That's it? No one tries to tackle you when you have the ball?"
They say "Oh, no. You can try to slide past someone, but you MUST hit the ball....if you just trip them, it's illegal."
That fucking game was easy as shit. I just fucking walked down the field, put my arm out if someone tried to steal the ball....kicked it back and forth between my feet until I got by the goal....then I kicked it in.
The other fucking team kept trying to pass it back and forth between each other or do some kind of weird "bobble-ball" shit with their feet. We'd just wait until they tried to pass it, steal the pass, then walk down the field and score again.
Once it got to about 20-0 or so, the other guys refused to play anymore....said we were cheating.
They said that you're "supposed to" pass the ball back and forth......apparently so the other team can steal it, I don't know....but they refused to play with us anymore because we just held our arm out and walked down the field, kicking the ball a little bit at a time the whole way. If someone got close, we'd just put our body in front of them and the ball.....it's not like they can hit your or anything...they have to just stand there and watch you score again.
I haven't thought about that in a while, but we laughed our asses off whenever we'd talk about it.

The other fucking team kept trying to pass it back and forth between each other or do some kind of weird "bobble-ball" shit with their feet. We'd just wait until they tried to pass it, steal the pass, then walk down the field and score again.
Once it got to about 20-0 or so, the other guys refused to play anymore....said we were cheating.
They said that you're "supposed to" pass the ball back and forth......apparently so the other team can steal it, I don't know....but they refused to play with us anymore because we just held our arm out and walked down the field, kicking the ball a little bit at a time the whole way. If someone got close, we'd just put our body in front of them and the ball.....it's not like they can hit your or anything...they have to just stand there and watch you score again.
I haven't thought about that in a while, but we laughed our asses off whenever we'd talk about it.
Hahhaa

400 meters n under in track until recent drugged Jamaicans.
rofl..err no, the US dominated whilst drug testing was developing, and caught them red handed, and some got away with it.
now that drugs have been cleaned up in the sport, the true genetic talents are now dominating- instead of drugged up lazy losers.
i laugh everytime that US citizens make claims of others based only on their own evidence perpetrated almost exclusively by their own people....almost no evidence to suggest that jamaica has anywhere near the record of drug usage that the US athletes do..
judging just by this site alone it would seem that drugs in sport is an acceptable situation...well newsflash- not for the rest of the world.
Jamaica are dominating now because the cheats are being weeded out..simple as that.
back in the day jamaicans still competed at the same level as US and eastern block countries and claim they were drug free even back then..(see Don Quarrie for instance)
so, to summarise- dont be a typical fat, lazy, whining, ignorant US citizen and prove that there is some intelligent life forms in that country..im losing faith rapidly.

I had never played soccer in my life until after my sophomore year in college. I don't think I had ever actually even kicked a real soccer ball until then. I was a fat defensive lineman spending a few weeks at a hostel in Poland with some friends.
Some guys asked us to join a game one day, but we didn't know the rules.
The guys tell us "you can't use your hands, but you can kick the ball, "head" it, or stop it with your chest. Other than that, you just try to kick it in the goal."
So I say, "That's it? No one tries to tackle you when you have the ball?"
They say "Oh, no. You can try to slide past someone, but you MUST hit the ball....if you just trip them, it's illegal."

You can't stop the other team from stealing the ball? That is actually in the rule book?
Are you allowed to try to stop them from scoring at least?
