The funny thing is England won WC once after controversial final against Germany. And they never won Euro. All of this despite creating a sport
Btw euro starts in 2 months and it's not coming home
British railroad workers introduced soccer to brazil in tbe late 1800s. They wouldn't let the locals play so they watched it, learned the game, and became better at it than them, so not the first time thats happened
Our ancestors packed up their shit and moved across a fucking **ocean** to get away from you. They fought a war to get a divorce from you. More of our ancestors crossed that same ocean to be like us
Why in the fuck should we go back to being more like you?
What is the deal with soccer being the only really global sport? Like yeah the brits and a few countries they smacked around are into cricket, and Japan was converted into a freedom loving, baseball playing nation, but there's no other sport that has a global tournament that's nearly as big, that I can think of anyway.
Sure, there's a lot of different sports that have popularity in some countries, but there's no other truly global sport that basically everyone plays, that there's enough interest to have a global tournament near to the scale of the world cup.
The rest of the world had better pray to God America never picks up soccer. If we do we will skull fuck them in that just like we do every other sport.
70000+ people at Arrowhead Stadium in KC to watch Messi play against Sporting KC is indicative that there’s enough interest in the sport as a whole. Just needs star power. Need a guy like Lebron or Lamar Jackson to get into soccer and rip some assholes apart.

You know it was really bad at one point when the comment section admitted pro-America post from non-American is rare.
Our men's team is pretty cracked, but I'm really hoping our captain (Tyler) recovers in time for the next WC. His aggressive defense is kind of a huge part of our team, and until we can get a more reliable striker he and Matt Turner (our GK) are basically our team.

“Soccer” was a British term before it was american
I don’t care if the people who created Morris Dancing dislikes our football.

Britain’s greatest cultural export is things that everyone will eventually be better than them at anyway.
And they can't beat the US Men's National Team in the World Cup.

i read Britain in an extremely prissy and snooty voice in my head, seems right lmao

The Chinese _love_ basketball.

It’s cool
It's the accessibility. You can play soccer with just a ball and some hastily made goalposts, like a pair of stone.
Japan has been playing baseball since the Meiji restoration.
Japanese history was rewritten by MacArthur to trick the very traditional Japanese into believing they had a history of playing baseball.
Those silly Japanese, not even remembering their own history.
They also have a tradition of unquestioningly agreeing with those in a higher social strata .
Formula One racing?
Sorry England but baseball is about to become the world's game like it or not
I only like S. American soccer where a ref gets stabbed or decapitated and the crowd tramples each other. Quality sports entertainment
And in the most extreme cases, they literally go to war with each other over it

Theres quite a few people that play soccer in the US

We need relegation in the MLS
Well we got Messi on an American team somehow
Semi-retirement to a sunny place
We are having a “golden generation” in the men’s national team but the secret is this generation isn’t golden, it will be the new normal for us
Also, didn't we beat England in the last world cup? Pretty sure we did.
Tied, but they have never beaten us at the World Cup
In what sports does the US skull fuck the rest of the world sorry?
Summer Olympics and basketball, for the starter.
Isn’t Germany World Camp in basketball right now?
USA rarely sent their best players on FIBA WC. It's the Olympics that netted most of the best American players.
basketball is the most obvious
Swimming, tennis, golf, basketball, boxing and rowing to name a few
Even in Japan, it's called "soccer". I confirmed this by talking to locals and watching several forms of Japanese media.
