This arrogance is why I despise American national teams, and openly cheer for them to fail in every sport. Y’all think y’all can dominate anything just by showing up and being American. It’s disgusting.

It’s like me saying, “If Brasil took baseball more seriously we’d be the best nation in the sport. Forget those places like the DR, Japan, the US, and the other countries where baseball is ingrained in their DNA and they have decades of experience building great ballplayers. No, we’d be the best just because we showed up and wanted to be. We’re that much superior to everybody else, and they’re just fortunate that we haven’t decided to take over the sport yet.”
:whoa:

I'm not American, nor am I insinuating America is superior just because... America.

American football is a clear danger to kids health. I'm simply for the youth investing in a sport that isn't going to kill them. Couldn't care less about dominance internationally.

Llorente had a a decent season with Swansea scoring in double figures as well. That poster is clueless lol
Again, those players only shined at mid table clubs. They struggled playing for top clubs. You’re the clueless one.

Breaks my heart seiing brehs literally killing themselves to make it in the NFL.

You look at the talent these kids have playing DB,WR, and RB with their footwork, speed, positioning, and ability to quickly read the game. It's no way they wouldn't eat at the very least as defenders.

With soccer growing in popularity in NA one can only hope more of these kids will apply their talents there.

Until there is an emphasis placed on tekkers first, athleticism second, America aren't going any further then they have been before.

It's not arrogance, but a numbers thing. The modern game is played with great emphasis on tekkers WITH athleticism. The US does well on the latter, not the former. If you could build a focus on tekkers first, then the athleticism will follow.

The US has large numbers and good infrastructure. A shift in how the sport is developed could yield large results.

For a gifted athlete (physically) as a teen, the athleticism will naturally progress as the human body grows. So there is no real need to place such a high priority on it at that level tbh.
