US Soccer

We dominate many sports people don't grow up playing naturally and are non revenue sports here yet are more popular overseas. Things like track and field, swimming, gymnastics, etc. Americans clearly don't care for this sport which is fine by me.

 

According to this they are ranked 37th in the world.

Droski, you know I respect your opinion on a lot of subjects, but if you are bringing FIFA rankings into this, you are clearly outclassed.

 

None of those are even more popular globally than they are in the US like soccer is.

 

He has no idea, but will still grind his heels in.

 

Just to give two quick reference points as to how worthless these rankings are, Switzerland is currently ranked 6th, and Spain, who fell completely on their face and are eliminated after two games are the #1 team. Also, didn't the US enter one WC (maybe 2006) ranked in the top 10? In short, they're the very definition of meaningless.

 

Number 4 I am pretty sure

 

Ok so maybe they are the 20th best team. That still sucks

 

Track and field is FAR more popular internationally than it is in the United States.

 

I have a pretty good idea as to the popularity of the sport in this country. I couldn't give two shits about the rest of it.

 

You should probably just stop.

 

Are we now dominating youth soccer internationally? Since it's so popular with the kids? The answer is no right?

 

You can do with my advice whatever you like, but you should trust me.

 

Name something else in the world we are this bad at? Cricket? That's all I got

 

Yeah. I would argue our group made us look worse than we were, but that ranking was a joke.

 

Where?

 

This is the equivalent of arguing that Tennessee doesn't care about men's basketball because our women's basketball team has been more successful.

 

Europe for one

 

rugby. curling. Nordic.

 

You got some numbers?
