Which empire would have the best soccer team? What would their starting XI look like?
>be British
>invent soccer
>have the largest empire and pool of talent in human history
>still shit
Spanish Empire has the most world cups
Império Colonial Português.
Spanish: 4 from Uruguay, 2 from Argentina, 1 from Spain
Portuguese: 5 from Brazil, fuck all from everyone else
Okay, I'm wrong.
All of the British empire only cares about cricket and rugby kek
France, Spain and Portugal chose their empire targets well, meanwhile we're left with shitters like India, Australia and USA.
Mo Salah would carry British Empire to glory
>Spanish Empire has the most world cups
>Spanish empire 5
>Portuguese empire 5
ummm
In soccer sure but they'd be absolutely goats in many other major sports, like rugby & cricket. I wouldn't say they'd be that shit at soccer either.
Don't start this shit again
They would dominate cricket insofar as they’d be the only ones playing it. I don’t think cricket is popular anywhere outside of the former empire.
Spanish has 7.
>checks map
>Afganistan is the new cricket #2
Actually it would be 9 world cups :^)
Portuguese still has more, see
Oh shit, Uruguay had to get their independence from us. Spaniards eternally BTFO.
Yea Afghanistan is a non-colony that plays and is moderately good at cricket. They get btfo by elite teams like aus, england, india and south africa though so they'd get obliterated by the empires c team even. They need to get ISIS to spread it across the middle east
Well that depends if you think Uruguay speak Spanish for a reason
If you knew the differences between Portugal Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese you'd say we have a different language aswell.
SACRUM IMPERIUM ROMANUM
Thanks from leaving us out, based Commonwealth great-grandfather.
Based Cisplatina
Uruguay got independence from Spanish Empire in 1810. She became a Brazilian province later but I think that stands, and Uruguay plays for former Spanish Empire
austro hungary would carry some talent. essentially yugoslavian XI with some decent austrian/czech/slovak/slovene backup
not based on that map user
SACRO
IMPERIO
ROMANO
The US has a military base on literally every country in the world, so therefore, the entire world belong to the holy American empire. Now down third world peasants
Do you expect Canada to ever be included in a discussion on anything?
For me, its the mongol empire
Charlemane's Empire would field a pretty decent team
>we have uhhhh Korea and uhhhh...
4 finalists
>"Empires" that consist of their home country and one or two random colonies somewhere
ayy lmao
>essentially yugoslavian XI with some decent austrian/czech/slovak/slovene backup
>forgets the hungarian goats
>hungarian "goats"
>choked against a bunch of war criminals
you're not fooling anyone pal
HRE under Charles V, easy
Forever based
We're still shit because of the way you colonials have diluted our natural native talent pool.
Dude, you need to learn some history. How come none of the US is British while nowhere in S. America is Spanish?
For that matter, how come no part of the British Isles is Italian, French, Dutch, German or Danish or Irish?
Ancient Finnish empire
also korea was never formally part of japan's empire
Axis powers: 4 from Germany, 4 from Italy, 2 from Vichy France
GIB RGdS BACK NAO
Napoleonic empire and subordinate states during 1812: 4 italy, 4 germany, 2 france, 1 spain, 4 uruguay, 2 argentina
BTFO
Back in the day when British Empire was strongest on the sea and Napoleonic empire was strongest on the pitch
Yes they were, Korea was formally annexed in 1910
> How come none of the US is British while nowhere in S. America is Spanish?
Because that map in particular is of 1913
>On 22 August 1910, Japan effectively annexed Korea with the Japan–Korea Treaty of 1910 signed by Ye Wanyong, Prime Minister of Korea, and Terauchi Masatake, who became the first Japanese Governor-General of Korea.
>Which empire would have the best soccer team?
France already has it.
German occupied Europe would have 10 world cups. Yes I'm counting Italy as german occupied territory.
>inb4 voltaireposters
why did the finnish empire lose the war of atlantis?
No offence, but your country is utterly worthless and should be wiped off the face of the Earth.
Shouldn't that map show Doggerland?
Doggerland would be after the end of the last glaciation period
>soccer
>major sports
>rugby & cricket
Oh no, it's retarded
>posts the one without Naples
Neapel bleibt unser!
seething
Iberic Union (Spanish Empire)
The autism hyperdrive was blown up by radical Swedish terrorists
Most other empires listed ITT didn’t view everyone else as subhumans, fat chance a non-German makes it onto the Nazi XI.
korea's king refused to sign the treaty and the prime minister was just some random person appointed by japan
That isn't even the full British Empire.
>all the Caribbean Islands that are still part of the UK not mentioned on this map
STATE OF THIS MAP.
>GOAT Hungarian team
>Jugos
>Hagi
would be pretty stacked
Mayan or was it Aztecs where playing sawker why before the British Cucks "invented" it.
No they weren't. The nearest analogue was Tsu-chu played by the Chinese as a military drill which was more akin to futsal. Association Football is British. As are most sports. Jog on, Yank.
>anachronous
Nice try, perfidious Albion.
Didn't know we had a military base in China
Napoleon I? France + the Low Countries + most of Italy + some of Germany + Iberia
t. Kim Chongsu
>literally just England+Salah & Bale
imagine traveling around the entire world just to end up back in Wales
I know your busy putting 20 on ngubu, but you didn't have the 13 colonies at the same time you had Tanzania
Still never really had Ireland
