Why do people say the US isn't a soccer nation when one of the greatest players of all time was American?
Explain this Europoors.

Other nations don't play soccer so that headline isn't wrong.

Can't argue with it, really.

Foreigners underrate him because he didn't succeed in one of their leagues, in which he was actively benched due to Europe's inherent bias against their American betters.

But on the grandest stage of them all, Landon well out performed their heroes.
>>
>>68239441
Yeah but Ireland is shit, so Donovan probably is the best "soccer" player of all time
>>
>>68239478
What about all the soccer players from before you guys stopped using the term soccer because it got too americanized
>>
Copa America goals
>Dempsey: 1
>Messi: 0

Who is better? Let the numbers decide.

I think we're a top 5 all-time great soccer nation (and I hate the sport, but facts are facts).

- Donovan is the greatest world cup performer of his era.

- 3 World Cup titles.

- 3rd place in the first World Cup without really even trying.

- Cleaned up FIFA.

- Hosted the most successful world cup of all-time per attendance.

It's hard not to justify it.

Pulisic is literally already ten times better than Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, Messi, and Damien Duff combined.
>>
>>68239561

Key word here is "Nation."

The US, as a Nation, has 3 World Cup titles.

Don't be asshurt because Mejico has 0, Paco.

Donovan? Who is Donovan?

If the US would give a shit about football they would have the greatest players on earth in less than a decade. Imagine people like Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, LeBron James, Shaq, Rodman, Westbrook playing it since kids. They would rape the rest of the world.

Donovan wasn't even better than Howard

Until you have a guy play in and win the European cup/champions league, it's hard to take a nation seriously. If San Marino can do it, why can't USA?
