The US would dominate in soccer if its popularity was swapped with American football

[Reckless Turtle]

This point is frequently discussed on other platforms, but I've yet to see it discussed on a forum.

The US already dominates in international athleticism, despite siphoning off many of its major athletes into American football.

Despite the national teams of Brazil, Germany, Argentina, France, Belgium, etc. seeming dominant at an international level, they would all probably get squashed with the aforementioned condition being true.

DK Metcalf would probably dominate at soccer if he was trained from childhood to be a centerback or striker rather than a wide receiver.

Pure cope. If athletes like Allen Iverson, Floyd Mayweather, Roy Jones Jr, Steph Curry, Barry Sanders etc. Played soccer since they were kids, the US would win every 4 years.

This seems so obvious to me I was tempted to "water" the thread. But apparently some people don't see it. There are 320,000,000 (fucking) people in the US, there is no way some country with a population of 50,000,000, half of whom live in poverty and are malnourished, can compete with that.

This is true lmao. If america invested 5 dollars in football they would dominate

The US does invest in soccer. High school playoff games can end up with higher attendances than European U-23 games. Playing soccer in high school means that you get to leech off of the ridiculously expensive stadiums, amenities, and training equipment from the football team during their off season. The issue is that the football staff can completely bully the soccer staff in terms of recruiting players. Head high school football coaches earn nearly as much as the principal (they're typically the second highest paid faculty member at the school).

Because their gene pools are garbage for athleticism. Most of India is effectively below the poverty line too.

Professional sports is FULL of athletes taking performance enhancing drugs, that isn't limited to American football

my point was its not really so dependent on the factors that american sports tend to be like pure athleticism, size, strenght, speed etc

Its more based around precision, control and technique

DK metcalf can be as big and as strong as he wants, if he has a first touch like a trampoline, then phil foden will run rings around him all day depsite being a literal child in comparison.

The traits that make a good NFL player dont automatically translate to soccer- so you cant just use the excuse oh all our best atheltes play in the NFL, when plenty of top international players are too scrawny for a high school football team let alone college or NFL

Not so sure. America can usually compete with disgusting money but footballers already make shitloads so not sure if they could keep or attract talent.

The US isn't inherently disadvantaged when it comes to its skill baseline for soccer. Most running backs have the footwork and agility necessary to be a good dribbler. Also, many boys are pushed into American football rather than soccer, which means that, even if they end up as a bust for American football, their soccer potential was never explored.

The top NFL salaries slightly exceed the top PL salaries. The post was about the international level, not club, so your point is irrelevant regardless.

running backs tend to have good footwork and agility, but they alos tend to be very very jacked and those bodytypes dont lend well to endurance. The only footballer i can think of with that kind of physique is adama traore- and hes literally known for having garbage end product.

Even footwork and agility pale in comparison to factors like spatial awareness, first touch, composure etc. Its one thing to be agile and another thing to be agile with the ball at your feet, its more difficutl than most think

They're intentionally jacked for the sport. Any of them can easily lessen their exogenous androgen intake and stop lifting as much to slim down for soccer.

You've also conveniently ignored my initial point:

I would agree its not disadvantaged - I just dont think the same sort of athleticism required for american sports is the same as for soccer. A lot of PL footballers arent really that impressive in terms of natural athleticism- theyre really quite average, they have excellent first touch, awareness and control of the ball. If you lack the aformentioned characteristics no amount of athleticism will ever compensate for it

 

[Reckless Turtle]

I only slightly agree with this, and your initial comment is seemingly implying that the US wouldn't be dominating with the aforementioned conditions. Again, I'm not denying that the sports don't have perfect overlap, but the massive football pipeline that exists in the US squashes a lot of soccer potential.

Would Curries stay competitive in cricket if the sport was popular in more nations?

Australia generally tops in international cricket, but India seems to rank second. Are South Asian genetics optimal for cricket or is India simply successful due to disproportionately higher interest in the sport?

I see your point and totally agree

Just saying PED usage among all pro athletes is probably much more widespread than any of us actually know

That's the exactly same logic that is making Americans suck at football/soccer

You all think it's about being rich and have all resources. Your national team has top tier budgets but cant win a team made by malnourished third worlders like El Salvador.

And football is all about skills that are developed over years, not only talent or being big, stronger or whatever. Kids be playing this everyday until they grow up in those countries. It's a fairly cheap sport where it's mostly about agility and team work. There's no fucking roided quarterback taking all the glory and everyone else is a fucking npc, it's a team working together

Even back then, you had tiny little poor countries winning over big European teams. We can't even say if that's possible in American football because it's expensive, dangerous and no one likes that shit outside america

 

[Reckless Turtle]

The American team sucks at soccer because most of their athletic talent is not pushed into soccer.

You and others are going off the rails with blacks in soccer, which wasn't the point of the post (even though blacks are statistically overrepresented at the top levels of the sport). Even with a fully "white" squad, the US would still be dominating with the aforementioned conditions.
