Why are we so much worse than Belgium and other irrelevant micro-states in Soccer? How is it possible we can't find 11 decent player in a country of such vast wealth and population?

what

nobody cares

The same reason why I can't find a decent Carolina style pulled pork sandwich in Saskatoon.

It's not for want of cooking skills, it's a lack of cultural relevance and native reverence.

Yeah divegrass kind of sucks

Belgium's players are all 'New Europeans'.

Nothing personal kid

It costs too much for talented kids to attend the US soccer academies. Only rich kids can. Meanwhile Nike essentially recruits and "pays off" the parents of talented high schoolers that play apehoop or handegg.

You should ask FIFA if you can split your NT into State teams instead. Then the few states that give a shit about soccer can focus their talents and become good. The likes of California would be able to put together a great team with everything centralised there.

>Hazard, De Bruyne, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Meunier, Courtois
>new europeans

You have no established history nor see it as an institution so it's seen as a fringe sport. Add to that how it's also viewed as mostly a "foreign" sport so xenophobia plays a role in lack of acceptance.

Football is ridiculously easy to play since all you need is a ball and something to mark the goal. No equipment, no special field. America could be a world leader at it because it already has the wealth for the facilities and the infrastructure to track down and nurture talent but because of the above points it'll be some time before it does that, if it even does.

This sound so retarded that it might actually work

The FA needs to set out a clear ideology of how they want the national team to play in 5 years time or so, set up the right schemes, academies and coaches to implement it. It doesn't really work if you have 100 different youth teams and academies all teaching something different, or just teaching bad football in general.
English youth football has really changed in the last 10 years, we see a lot more focus on nice one touch footy played across the floor, encouraging coaching methods, a lot of football cages with modern synthetic turf rather than playing 4 4 fucking 2 on a muddy field with a fat coach screaming abuse at the kids, and now we are seeing the benefits at the national team level.

because only rich kids play football in america

/thread

only fifth-tier faggots and autists that lazy mommy needs to get out her hair for for a few more hours so she hardly has to deal with them play this sport you stupid ass nigger

Which is the opposite of how it happened literally everywhere else. It's weird.

this isn't true at all its just massive cope from soccer niggers here

bro we dont give a shit about soccer. how many europoors can field a decent football team? yea thats right. and they have even more inhabitants than we do.

Luckily belgian isn't a race or ethnicity, but a state. So niggers can't be flemish or walloon.

our blacks shit on soccer, they want to play basketball and football instead

get the blacks, get the talent

it's because americans are too fat

Your entire sports system is at odds with how it is done in the rest of the world, it is practically impossible for Americans to become good footballers because your entire system is tied to academic institutions so they will never develop. Meanwhile people play for professional clubs here at the youth level as early as 8 years old sometimes.

>playing 4 4 fucking 2 on a muddy field with a fat coach screaming abuse at the kids, and now we are seeing the benefits at the national team level.
we got 5 world cups doing exactly that

You realize how cuck you sound?
Anyway, your 7 ft 300 pound negroes will do you no good in football.

the truth is cuck?

oh wait, we're on 4channel

>Anyway, your 7 ft 300 pound negroes will do you no good in football.
They still have a shit load of 5'7-6'2 negros.
(Not that it matters, talent in football has nothing to do with race anyways)

i live just west of liege

USA has plenty of "New Americans" as well, yet..

Imagine if these guys dedicated their lives to soccer. Rest of the world would have no chance

Those are some based niggers. Manlet messi would destroy them tho.

Our Africans play apesqueak and nigcollide. Spicflop is for well...

most of the spics here are mexicans that are de facto guatemalans from being from the shit poor south parts of mexico, actual guatemala, el salvador, dominican, venezuela, with a sprinkle of ecuador, honduras and panama thrown in.

Outside of dominicans(who love baseball and don't give a shot about soccer)mostly all these other niggers did not hit the physical lottery at all.

This guy couldnt stand a entire match. They are too tall and too muscular.
After 30 minutes, they will be all dead and take 10 goals

America would be #1 if it put it's emphasis #1 on soccer. You wouldn't know a single one of those guys existed though if that was the case

We have our own sports.

If I'm not mistaken, football is one of the top sports for youngsters to practice and play in US and A. I think the reason youngsters don't really go for it is that the "american" sports are a lot more sponsored insitutionally, like college programs and high school programs that football kind of gets left behind, sadly.

Because soccer is for women, children, and poor people.

It's already been stated ITT that most Americans are too poor to play football. Pick a story and stick to it.

Hmmm

no culturally here anyone with athletic pedigree doesn't even consider that shit. soccer is more of a social activity. there is undoubtedly a large vocal minority of people here that like soccer but the average american still has beyond zero interest in it. that comes from someone that grew up loving every sport and finding soccer to be for fags but coming to appreciate the sport even though I find it to be a broken sport.

>too poor
>cheapest sport

Soccer is trash and countries with real sports dont care about it

Probably more male kids play soccer now than baseball and it was basically a rite of passage to play baseball when I was a kid(33 boomer) and playing soccer got you bullied passively at times. So I don't know what these coping botched are talking about. There was always expensive ass traveling teams for baseball even into the 90s.

who /mclean/ here

also this whole area is filled with indians

Soccer is played by kids that don't like sports. Their parents want them to be "active" so they get put in a sport that costs $0.

America is the only country in the world where soccer is considered a middle/upper class sport and not a working class one.

You just need a fucking ball to play, 1 euro and you can play with 10 guys.
How could football be a upper class sport?

Gettysburg, PA isn't that far south

11 million and 1st rate athletes>300 million and 6th rate athletes

Success in sports comes down to basic socioeconomics. Our women’s team proves that

Pay to win is a bitch. The country is also just too big and spread out and soccer not popular enough to have readily available high level teams in all sorts of areas. I wished I could have become professional or at least be able to continue playing high level soccer, but in all the places I have lived there was really nothing

It's crazy, I would be in the dutch part but only about and hour or so away to you I would be in the French part despite us being here in the same state

Typically poorer people aren't focused on international things but only on American things. So they may be poor, but they will spend money on American sports like baseball and football and basketball and the like and won't consider soccer because it is "not American". Meanwhile, the middle classes to rich people are more internationally minded and think about more things than just whatever is in a ten Mile radius of them. So those people think it is cool and hip to be into something so "international"

Lack of a good European-style professional league. The US could potentially support hundreds of profitable clubs with academies to develop youth talent; instead we have a meme league with only a handful of franchises and totally unapplicable nonsense like a "draft" for players.

americans are cuckolds, see
also soccer is boring as fuck
No one ever fucking scores and games are decided by penalty kicks at the end of regulation. So fucking boring

Burger here. Why do Burgers act like just because our country is huge and populous we should be good at divegrass.

It is like saying India is huge and populous why are there no Pajeet defensive linemen.

shut up english teacher

Is there an equivalent of a QB in soccer? You need these guys and a decent QB.

t.too fat of a child to play any sports
It's true, AYSO is the closest thing to an organised league we have here for youth and it costs hundreds per month to play for

>India
why are using a a hypothetical example when Chinese soccer is a real example. They invested a shit ton of money in it and they are a huge country but they are still shit at it just like us.

Ad hominem.

That wasnt an Ad Hominem genius he just told you to shut up

It literally was an ad hominem, he was telling me to shut up based simply on the assumption of who I am/what I do, and did not engage the content of what I said.

US is rich and multiracial; we are competitive in almost every sport. We are just a larger wealthier Brazil basically, and if they are the best soccer nation on Earth there's no reason we couldn't be even better.

Did you not watch the last 2 rounds of champions League or ...?

Rarely are soccer games decided by penalties, probably less than 10%

That's the classic attacking midfielder role, though sadly being phased out

>Even steve kerr
he grew up in lebanon/egypt, of course he likes divegrass

yeah it we just dont have the soccer mindset here. China for example yes has a billion people and is so large but the NT is terrible. Same thing for India. Bangladesh has like a billion people too and is probably considered a decent size for a team but they still suck as well. Even Russia, they do okay even being as huge and populous as they are, but it's all concentrated in a small section in the west so they act appropriately with hat

Your mud is dry and bouncy

Correct. My point was that if people don't give a shit, it doesn't matter about raw population numbers. Alabama has a smaller population than the UK, but produces way more American football talent, and of course the UK produces none, because the UK doesn't care about American football. Artificially pumping money into stuff doesn't create a culture where 2 year olds are kicking soccer balls around, encouraged by their soccer loving parents. It also doesn't help that the US has 4 other top level professional leagues that are way more lucrative. So the best athletic talent tends to shift to other things.

US needs to follow Brazils futbol pyramid. Divide the country into regions, that can be the regional pyramid/league like how Brazil has state leagues.

>Gettysburg, PA isn't that far south
Yes it is. It’s an 8 mile drive to the MD border

It's not about finding players so much as developing them

it’s as simple as all our young nigs who grow up into professional level athletes choose basketball or football.. basketball and football players are cool and rappers want to be seen with them, the same thing can be said about mls athletes.

can’t be said about mls*... damnit

why do people think population size correlates to being good at one thing or another?

id want 350,000,000 powerball tickets instead of 12,000,000

This

China and India are two of the worst sporting nations in the world. Then again their gene pools are absolutely trash, especially India’s.

Nicely done.

>a country of such vast wealth and population?

Because you spend most of your wealth on guns and most of your population is too busy shooting the rest of your population.

>Because you spend most of your wealth on guns
Dumbest thing posted thus far ITT. Most people don't actually own guns, and if they do, they own one and rarely use it.

Because no one cares about soccer here dumbass

Yeah, but you're assuming anyone in America cares enough. There's a reason the women's team has more attention in America. It's considered a girl sport here.

Don't you have a 13 year old to pay for sex about now

>socioeconomics
Then why are south American teams better than say, Japan and worstKorea

Cope faggots
