Have they ever had a world class player

You could argue Tim Howard was World Class

No, but Howard, Friedel, Keller and Guzan were all pretty high quality keepers. That's actually one department America have done quite well at.

Tbh a combination of shit mods and terrible posters. Obviously the soccer niggers carry a huge part of the blame.

He said world class, not farmersliga class

We've had the most world class athletes of any country in the past century.

Landon Donovan was borderline world class. He stayed in MLS most of his career because he couldn't deal with Yuro weather. True Angeleno desu

Kasey Keller

Tyler Adams

he got benched for an 18 year old zoomer who got dabbed on by fucking alderweireld and vertonghen

Wayne Rooney would be a perfectly normal American name.

Dempsey, Pulisic, Adams. Maybe McKennie.

Pulisic, McBride, Dempsey, Donovan, and Howard. Arguably Bradley (played for a top European side in Roma) as well

None of them were high quality at all. All decidedly average.

No

The USA has the 2nd largest American population outside of Africa and the 2nd largest hispanic population in the world

How the fuck can't they field 11 guys who like to kick a ball?

>2nd largest American
African*

freudian slip kek

Dempsey was the closest we came. He could have been useful player at champions league clubs but was always underrated. Subotic and Gio Rossi could have chosen American nationality but didn't.

Niggers play hand egg and most of the hispanic population is Mexican who also suck at soccer?

Not to mention undefeated super bowl champions...

Bradley could have been world class in the right team. His play at Verona won over Italian fans and reminds one of the great midfield engines.

World class is generally a handful of the best players in a position at best. The U.S has never been remotely close to having a player of that caliber. To argue that for any of our players is just delusional.

Freddy Adu

Why not just Do La Liga or Serie A?

he had a bad experience with leverkusen when he was young. made him severely homesick and it probably scarred him from going abroad again. he preferred to stay at home in cali as the star of the mls and the face of u.s soccer. imo kind of a bitch move, he could've progressed u.s soccer a lot more by doing well in europe but that's his life. he had the talent though.

Nfl isn't the only american football league. Athletic black people play gridiron and basketball. Soccer isn't popular at all. In African American 'hoods' you will find basketball nets everywhere but almost no soccer fields

We have the best athletes(highest quality nogs) but they dont play soccer. The only way way for us to become the best at soccer is to make it easy for poor minorities to take there families out of poverty using soccer. Right now basketball and american football are way ahead. In this country soccer is for upper middle class white people whose kids have not a single creative bone in their body. You can see it on the field.

LelBron is the greatest CB Manchester United has ever seen.

Attached: lead1.jpg (970x645, 481K)

I just learned today in a BR article that apparently he was seen as a symbol of Klinsmann's failure at Bayern when he went there on loan in 2009. Klinsmann didn't forget when he left him off the 2014 WC team.

Such a shame the best player and best coach in US national team history weren't always on the same page. Hopefully it doesn't end up affecting the team's development in the future

Also, this is what happened when Landon went on loan at Everton in the winter of 2010.

>His 13-game stint in the Premier League was an unequivocal success. The 28-year-old forward started 10 matches in a row, scored two goals and helped the Toffees to memorable wins over Manchester City, Manchester United and eventual champions Chelsea, as well as to a well-deserved 2-2 draw at Arsenal.

If you want to define "world-class" as CL level then surely this fits the description no?

Serious question, why do foreign fags rate soccer so much? Britain sure, they invented it, and a handful of random countries would make sense, but literally most peoples and countries outside N America and S Asia?
It's not as though most of your countries had any kind of important innovation or influence on the game. Most countries in the world are content to straight-up copy what others do at sport. Why is this?

Chestnut holds the belt.

Claudio Reyna was voted into the best XI (Eleven) after the MMII (2002) World Cup. I realize this is quite different than a true world class First Team it's the most legitimate claim from a US player.

Sad.

Yeah that sounds about right, he definitely could have blazed a trail in Europe for other North Americans to follow if he had dealt with his problems like everyone else.

Maybe if things were just a bit different he could have made it work, even some Canadians like De Guzman and Radzinski had half decent European careers and Donovan was definitely way ahead of both of them.

Pulisic will flop in the prem, but i have hope for some of the other talented prospects.

>severely homesick
probably just couldn't deal with the lack of freedom, based

He played at everton... he wasnt world class...

All of those players are better than Rooney

He also played at Old Trafford.

Most athletic chads grow up thinking soccer is gay, then in college realise it's pretty cool.

You're a Nazi and/or Hitler.

Kek barely, and that's when he was a teenager.

America has 300 million people to prop up like 5 different pro sports leagues...and none of them are soccer. Fuck soccer. No one cares here. If American athletes are tall/talented they play basketball. If they're tall and not talented they play volleyball. If they're not tall but they are talented they play baseball. If they're not tall or talented they play football. Some talented players play football if they're from the south, west coast, or mid west. If they're from the upper north or east coast they'll play an Olympic sport, an individual sport, hockey, or baseball.

In order for soccer to succeed here there would have to be a MASSIVE campaign to organize it at the youth level and right now simply no one cares. 3 best soccer players I ever saw all got D1 scholarships for it and quit halfway through their education. People just don't care.

and Alan Shearer played at Newcastle, you can be world class whilst playing in an average team.

All you need is a ball to play. You don't need a net, you don't need proper field markings, you don't even need shoes.

The only Olympic sport that matters outside of the games themselves is boxing. The only track and field medal worth anything is decathlon. Every other Olympic """"sport"""" is irrelevant and the top athletes in sports that are in the games (football, tennis) don't take them seriously.

Now how many top athletes do you have?

Because he was average.

>don't take them seriously

This is Englel's excuse for being dogshit in soccer? It's literally the only sport you play and the UK had to bankroll unimportant Olympic sports just to inflate their medal count. That is pathetic.

theguardian.com/sport/2016/aug/15/brutal-but-effective-why-team-gb-is-winning-so-many-olympic-medals

ha, this. klopp "tried".

if anyone wants to know how much we don't care about soccer, watch a safety mark a wire receiver, inches apart, and watch USMNT mark up. they are about a full yard off the other player. literal retards.

And Robert Green was considered world class before *that* game I'm sure.

most of the boxing greats are american, a good number of athletics and tennis greats as well. obviously far ahead of the rest at the worlds 2nd team sport basketball (if you say cricket you shit in streets) only subpar in assoc. football

There are over 1,000 colleges where people play football and basketball. Most black people in this country couldn't name a single soccer player outside of Pele, Messi, Ronaldo, or Beckham.

99% have likely never heard the name Maradona in their life.

>USA womens national team BTFO's the rest of the world so consistently and thoroughly but the rest of the world thinks the men just cant produce an athlete comparable to them

you guys know how the women have won the world cup and gold medal and every single match whenever they play another team from non USA countries?
it would be like that if men actually wanted to play in the champions league or whatever you faggots play soccer in.

>men's football is the most competitive sport in the world
>nobody cares about women's football except USA and Japan
Hmmm.

So you think that all the Highschool and college foorball players that dont make hte NFL are going to go back in time and start playing soccer at 5 yo?

Fucking retard.

> Landon Donovan was near world class
AMERICANS

As laughable as that error was, he wasn't considered world class by anyone. Unfortunately, the state of English goalkeeping then was pretty bad; he was the best of a bad bunch. Needless to say, that error killed his career.

...

Even if only 1% of the total population cared about football, that's still like 3 million people, which is roughly the population of uruguay who still produce great players.

Bobby Fischer

Everton was considered a EL tier team back then and in his short stint he lead them to wins over (then) title contenders United and Chelsea, a CL contender then with City, and a draw on the road with Arsenal.

It was a loan stint and he would have obviously needed to keep it up for a longer period of time to be truly world class. I'm just saying at his peak he had the ability and showed it.

>only two goals
He was an AM at Everton. His main job wasn't to score goals but to create opportunities for everyone else. He actually could and has played some forward in the past and did well.

lmfao, not bradley. Pulisic might be our GOAT. I'm looking forward to what he and Steffen can do.

Most countries want to compete with other countries instead of playing by themselves and calling it "the world series"

do you know who jonas salk was?
he was the jewish scientist that cured polio. he created the march of dimes to raise millions to fund his research.
polio was a crippling and deadly disease putting children all over the world into a wheelchair or an early grave. the vaccine for polio was one of the greatest medical achievements of the last century. its a globally essential medicine.
and this guy jonas salk?
he could have made billions from it. he could have patented it and made actual billions of dollars.
you know what he did? he waived the patent. he gave up billions just to make sure as many people who could be helped got the help they needed. he became a celeb after that even though he hated it. truly a great man and he left the world a better place than he came into it.

If I had a choice between polio existing in the USA/world and jews. I would choose polio every single time and twice on sundays. I would infect myself with polio and tour america spreading the disease in a custom built wheelchair or crutches if it meant all the jews and their influence were excised from my country like the cancer they are.
polio is nothing compared to the harmful effects of jews on the USA and world.I would give anything to live in a world where our biggest problem was building access ramps and compliance with the civil disabilities act.

that sounds like hyperbole. it is not. 100% authentic feelings. I cant sleep at night anymore. I wish I never started questioning things. I wish I was still a dumb rube out there able to laugh at things instead of a woke misanthrope. I envy the dumb.

Handegg is all about tactics dude. Try playing a Madden game. You'll understand that

that's what I said.

Bradlel has been past it since he came back to MLS, but did you watch that Villa side? He came into a floundering squad with a ded manager that barely put together a decent showing until the end of the season, only played a couple matches and even then, they were going to buy him anyway because Houllier said he had quality and would be good with a full preseason and time to acclimate to the speed of the game, but then they brought in Alex What The Fuck Is Football McCleish who nixed the deal.
