Yeah but a few men on horses whose job consists soley of rescuing stranded mountaineers and clearing snow from roads would'nt be much use in a desert war.

That's called progress, just like they've stopped using horses on patrol too. :P

Typical of all you sad yanks. A game that everyone else in the world plays but that you are not very good at has to be a rubbish sport.

Thats why you all have your own sports, American Footbal and Baseball so that the other countries can't beat you.

The Americans are like the spoilt kid at school. Someone is better at him at something so he kicks the ball onto the school roof so nobody can play. Then he goes and plays swingball on his own.



Just kidding, love you Americans really :P

Do you know why soccer is a universal sport Money. You don't need any to play it. I love soccer, but it's ridiculous what you are saying, really. It's just a matter of where the most talented athletes go, again coming down to money.. If soccer was as popular in the states as Basketball, then they would probably be as good as they are at Basketball, because that's where the best athletes would strive to be. How much do you think the guys playing on team USA in the world cup make compared to Kobe Bryant or Allen Iverson.. It's just ignorant for you to suggest the US simply couldn't contend in soccer and that's why other sports are popular. You really should think it through somewhat.

really that is the truth. Allen Iverson (if soccer (football) was all he knew? o shat!) in the end it really is all about the $$$. in the usa noone really cares much (if any) about soccer/football. the $$$ is elsewhere

I suppose if we were bordered by a thousand tiny little countries that also cared about soccer, we might care as well. But, as the way it goes we are pretty insolated in our own mutant culture. At least we have good teeth.

I do not believe that its a talent thing because at least 50% of all U.S. kids grow up playing soccer many of which are extremely talented at the sport and would probably fair very well in a one on one situation with any forriegn player. I believe it has something to do with team comradery, hunger, spirituality or something intangible. For instance, we can place the greatest American baseball, basketball, hocky or soccer players on an all star team and they will very likely get beat by a team from even a small country like Cuba or Lithuania that couldn't possibly have the same amount of talented players to pick from (which by the way, I find very intertaining) . Interstingly though we also get wooped in individualized competitions such as boxing and ameteur wrestling so it cant just be better teamwork and familiarity with peers. I say it has to do with either hunger, faith and spirituality or a combination of these intangibles.

I doubt 50% of kids in America grow up playing soccer. Not even 50% play baseball. This may sound like an asshole think to say, but is it possible there's just more stuff to be interested in, in the U.S.

How many different sports can a person get involved with in any American city. I live outside of Nashville, and I know of plenty of place where you can get involved with bowling leagues, squash teams, baseball, basketball, football, boxing, mma, rugby...

There's plenty of places all over the world where your only sporting option is soccer.

Didn't America do far better than England last world cup? They lost unluckily to Germany to not mack to the World CUp finals? I'm not saying they are the second best team, but despite what this world cup showed they are one of the powers in the world.

There are 70 million children in the U.S.A.
http://www.nccp.org/pub_lic06.html

20 million U.S. children play soccer
http://www.ussoccerplayers.com/resou...ts/325785.html

However, if you consider that many of the 70 million children or 1/3 may be infants or the fact that many of the 70 million may have played soccer in the past but have quit by the age of 13 then I am probably correct to say that at least 50% of u.s. children have played soccer.

Something that I just thought of though is the fact that kids in forriegn countries often play sandlot soccer half-the-day-long, day in, day out and without all the negativity that comes with frantic American coaches. It is true that with soccer any number can get involved and all you need is four rocks and a ball to have a blast.

Come to think of it , hardly any of the bad asses continue to play soccer here in the U.S. but if you go to Latin America for instance you will find all walks of life who continue to play it so actually there are an assortment of totally differnet mindsets involved and to choose from over there.

Soccer is the biggest sport in the world

[lukas_corso]

Here in Argentine almost the 95% it's soccer. Tv, newspapers, everytime talking about soccer. Then comes Tennis, Basket just a little (Thanks Manu, we love you!) and almost invisible there is box... La Hiena Barrios keeps the flag very high, but he use to wear a Soccer t-shirt on the ring from a small team with many funs. Even Cotto use River Plate soccer t-shirt.
