When it comes to real football, the football most of the world plays, why does America suck tremendous donkey penis?
It has a national league, a college system, a youth system with over 3 million juniors http://www.usyouthsoccer.org/media_kit/keystatistics/
Plenty of players in the premier league http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...League_players
Why does its national team suck so bad?
Is it because Football or "soccer" as its called in stupid places, requires the kind of physical conditioning not seen in most American sports?
http://www.nydailynews.com/life-styl...icle-1.1307763
I think most athletes in America, are playing sports with barely any cardio requirements like baseball or American Rules Football.
It would be tough for a junior player to transition from baseball or Gridiron to the world game due to the demanding physical nature of the game.
Maybe Ice Hockey, which does have a heavy cardio component...
They should do better at world cups and international tournaments though, after all they have over 300 million people.

Their domestic league is 20 years old. 10 years ago MLS was not even in the top 50 leagues. Now they are arguably in the top 15. The fact that the US national team is in the top 15 in world rankings is remarkable all things considered. An Australian fan talking down to US soccer is ridiculous.

Because steroids don't help as much in Football than they do in MLB and NFL. (semi srs)
Their Football programs are quite young and the popularity is laughable compared to their other primetime sports. Its probably partially cultural as well, as you can see when Football is discussed on the MISC. Americans usually laugh it off, because they suck as it, rather than decide to be the best at it.
Most importantly though - in the US - as an athletic kid, you have the choice of playing for peanuts in the Football league or make millions on draft day in one of the other sports. Kinda a no-brainer, unless you plan on going to Europe, where real cash is made.

Because the most athletic people in the US play other sports.
Are you gonna try and tell me a dude like Adrian Peterson or Lebron couldn't be a fukin monster at Soccer if they dedicated their lives to it instead of football or basketball?

Because the majority of the people in America don't give two fukks about the sport and most kids would rather play baseball/basketball/merica football/hockey and we just so happen to have the top professional leagues for all of those sports. No other big soccer countries really have that issue, so soccer has likely been the main pro sport there for a long ass time. If the USA was like that and we only focused on soccer for the past 100 years there's no way we wouldn't be one of the top countries. Lol @ blaming it on conditioning, it's not like training for heavy cardio is some giant fukkin mystery. That'd be the easiest part of the sport if you're athletic, all the technical skills are what would make transitioning to it at a high level next to impossible.
In the US a ton of kids play soccer in like kindergarten and then they go okay fukk this noise I'm playing basketball/baseball/football and never play the sport in an organized setting again.Sun Devils - Cardinals - Suns - Dbakes - Yotes

You are on the right track. North America is upper body based. Go overseas and you notice the guys have bigger/stronger legs and better cardio.
The Top nations in Futbol usually remains the same. Up & comers come & go but it's usually the same nations. Unlike American sports, futbol is very complex and there is no 1 single strategy to winning (MLB: Pitching, NFL: QB, NBA: MVP)

yep, you said it lol. just cause you got a good QB don't mean you're going to the super bowl, and one strategy would mean one defensive formation and one offensive formation would do it. if only it were that simple. you have option qb's (RGIII, Cam Newton) and pocket passers (Brady, Manning, Rodgers) and hell 'tweeners too. if it was purely qb wins everything then Brady would have never lost to Eli in the first place. point made for at least merica football? i think so

I don't agree with your opinion on 1 single strategy for other sports but I do agree with the complex part. Baseball fans in particular (I am one myself) are ridiculous. The entire game of soccer is improvisation. The majority of baseball is reacting a certain way to a certain situation. Players are taught from the moment they are teenagers (or even younger) what to do in a given situation. I just laugh when a baseball player makes an instinctive play and it ends up on top 10. Wow, he thought on the fly for one of the first times in his career! How amazing! I love baseball but it's just embarrassing sometimes.

Take your retarded sport and go somewhere else. Just because you think it takes no cardio conditioning to play American sports doesn't mean it's true. Have you ever played American football? You need cardio to play it well.
But yeah. Let's watch a group of men run back and forth for 90 ****ing minutes, sometimes not even scoring a single goal. Exhilarating.AcetylCoA gets reps
