There isn't as much interest around US soccer so it's not going to get all the best athletes and kids mostly aren't going to be trained from youth to be good at it.

Real answer: most countries foster and develop soccer players from a young age and promote their involvement their whole life. In America, young kids can play parks and rec soccer or participate in youth leagues, but once they hit around age 12, the truly good players get siphoned into travel leagues, which are extremely expensive and weed out any non-wealthy players. It's really an elitist sport come high school

"Dominate" and "almost every" are doing some heavy lifting in that title. NBC's Olympic coverage is skewed towards the sports Americans are most competitve in, so you don't see us fail to medal at handball or lose to Brazil in volleyball. We aren't out there dominating tae kwon do or judo.

I mean, in the modern age most of the big stars don't partake in world competitions, but if they did USA definitely dominates baseball and basketball.

We definitely dominate basketball. The Dream Team is specifically the 92 Olympic squad and never lost a game. They won by an average margin of victory of 44 points.

This years Olympic squad is essentially a B team given the amount of talent that decided not to participate. They dropped a game to France in their first Olympic outing. While it isnt our best team by any means, they still have plenty of talent to win. We should be embarrassed if they lose.

The best athletes in the United States just generally do not play this sport and will opt for American football, baseball or basketball primarily. That's the answer.

Its getting bigger. I watched a US game this weekend, Orlando Vs Atlanta; Orlando had Nani! I was pumped, hes only 34 and probably cost a pretty penny. Hes still young and good enough to play in premier clubs so I took it as a sign that the sport is being elevated, same way basketball is becoming a worldwide phenomenon.

I can think of nothing more manly then bending another dude over and givin him the old hairy root. For real no sarcasm. Whats more masculine, burrowing in some soft p belonging to some flowery pretty creature, or delving deep into the buttocks of a sweaty, thick muscled man who could snap trees in two with one hand?

Look I was just shitposting about the manilness of american football vs real football.

Manly is a subjective term and can mean many things, but I think it's something that's inherent to men, so maybe its penis or testosterone related stuff
