Maybe because America has more black people than the UK does and the fact that they wanted to come to the Uk instead of being forced against their will to a country
if soccer was the most popular sport in the United States
- Thread starter the cool
- Start date

we absolutely would not
dudes would just run in straight lines over and over while not being able to control a ball, pass, cross, and shoot properly.
And thats not even getting to the tactical nuances that we still lack.
The US would be a good nation right now with the current talent if the player development was right. It isnt, its not even close to right and we will still be a middling nation (sadly, altho better than being a complete minnow for 50 years like before).
The problem with athlete development in soccer is the same in other sports in this country too.
smh, this reminds me of the rugby arguments i have with the aussies from over here. They diss football, then i pose the hypothetical of if our best footballers grew up playing rugby how they wouldnt stand a chance...

Your mistake was arguing with the Convicts in the 1st place. Now you know how everyone else feels when they argue with Americans.
Im not saying this midget would make it in the NBA, but...
David Villa ficha por la NBA - YouTube
who gonna put those crosses in tho
My nikka you realize David Villa (spanish player in the video) was not the one doing those crossover dribbles...right?
notice how when his face was shown his handles looked weak and then they would show half his body doing those crazy dribbles...
common sense nikka...common sense
Nah fam, Im talking about if the NBA and NFL vanished tomorrow, within a decade or two we would be major players in the soccer world. The infrastructure would be there in time with all the resources devoted to soccer, and the pool of athletes this country produces. There may not be many massive soccer players, but the team we'd put out would be bigger than the teams Germany has but even more athletic.
It would take 10-20 years, but I think the US would be monsters
Dude you are a complete idiot if you believe that.
So you saying black kids in America wouldn't be great at soccer if they was trained at a early age.

First, its not like nations like Germany, Argentina, Spain, France, Brazil, etc are just going to disappear. They have a system thats been in place for over 100 years.
Secondly, the way our sporting landscape is set up (dads teaching their kids sports even though they havent played it themselves, the AAUs, HS/College athletics, etc) is not conducive to develop great talent in the sport. Its even showing not to be conducive to develop talents in our other sports.
Third, its not just about athleticism. The best national team in the world, and arguably of all time, fields a starting line up with almost all their players under 6 feet tall and not very fast. And the standard for club teams is almost similar.
Americans need to get away from this notion of "bigger is better" and "he can run and jump higher than everyone" when it comes to our sports. Its why we do not dominate a lot of these sports anymore.
Athleticism isnt the problem with American teams, we just arent technically skilled as the rest or tactically as good.
Dude you are a complete idiot if you believe that.
So you saying black kids in America wouldn't be great at soccer if they was trained at a early age.
there are black kids from America who are playing professional football right now as we speak, and have been trained from a very young age... and they arent great (or that good). Idiot.

Basically you would have to overhaul the youth sector and to reap from it, takes 10-20 years in itsself and then thats hopin everyone else stands still. Then theres killin the college level of the game aswell, there just no point in it tbh. And your league would have to improve acouple of levels also
