Why are these countries so bad at football?
>>
>>68675152
because like 100 people live there
>>
Lithuania and Latvia are basketball countries.
>>
>>68675152
It's hard to be good at soccer when Doctor Doom is your king
>>
Estonia is kinda similar to Finland doesn't really have the best climate for playing.

They will probably become 'okay' within the next 10-20 years if their economy stays good.

The other two are corrupt Slav shitholes and have a smaller population than the other Slav shitholes so less chance of getting good players.
>>
i thought they were slavic for the longest time
>>
>>68675152
Because they're absolutely tiny.

Also basketball is more popular.

Iceland werent part of a communist shithole for 40 years.

More importantly, Iceland have Lagerbäck

>>68675453
>>68675546
Iceland didn't qualify for a major tournament before this one. It actually supports the population size argument. And Uruguay is having a bit of a Renaissance. You have to overachieve or overcome small population
>>
>>68675152
They're all very depressing places to live. You might get some pussy as a foreigner, but eh.
>>
I wouldn't bother anon. They won't be around for much longer anyway.
>>
They are relatively poorer and underdeveloped compared to other countries in Europe who they compete against

I was under the impression that Estonia was actually quite wealthy.

Based.
>>
>>68676866
They are for Eastern European standards, but still quite poor for Western European standards.

Also, they have the highest murder rate in the EU (mainly due to the huge Russian minority in their country)
>>
>>68676939
I dunno man, 900€ on eastern European prices can be pretty good. That is, assuming their prices are as low as the rest of Eastern Europe.
>>
>>68675152
>football

they are bad at everything except whining against russia
>>
>>68675152
Because they're not faggots falling for 'muh beautiful game' nonsense. They play hockey >furpuck and basketball >apehoop like real athletes
>>
>>68677012
I once saved a map of local purchasing power in Europe, maybe I can find it, hold on

Meanwhile, have this

Uruguay has always been a fairly decent team. They even won 2 world cups.

>>68675186
Where are the Chinese and Indian super teams at?
>>
>>68677227
this. They are súper tall and better fit to play basketball, where they are actually powerhouses AFAIK

Here you go

It's based on Poland

So they're wealthier than most Eastern European countries, but still far behind Western Europe (except Poortugal)

baltic so hard motherfuckers wanna fine me

It's based on bullshit.

Ummm , i doubt Poland has better purchasing power than us.

Ukraine :/

Only if Poland is ultra cheap, salaries are probably not bigger

That's absolute bullshit.
>>
>>68680734
They don't have data because no internet, half of the people talk a random language no one bothers to learn and they rather make their own food so purchasing power is useless, a country that is immune to the modern era.
what was the last time you saw a paraguay on /sp/.
>>
>>68680759
Ofc, because average number is something else than most people actually earn. There are god knows how many managers , directors, etc etc who are earning shitload of money, and they are lifting that average number higher than it actually is. None of this numbers are actually realistic.
>>
>>68680367

14 yuros more on the average, so they're the same

>Why are these countries so bad at football?
Anything bad that ever happens in those countries is the fault of russians don't you know?
>>
>>68680813
I saw few posters on /hilo latino/ and that's it, but i didn't talk to them. How many percent of population has Internet access there? And why is that if you care to explain that to me...
>>
>>68680813
I don't see them here that often but they're on /pol/ pretty frequently.

Well, Latvia and Lithuania focus on basketball, so there's that, but Estonia I dunno. We certainly love football, but I can't give you the precise reason why we are shit. I figure not enough people take it seriously once they grow older. My cousins play it but there is little support for them to take it seriously from their family and they themselves are kinda lazy with going to practice and shit. So that's one part of it.
Plus don't take the memes seriously, we aren't a rich country even in Eastern-Yuropoor standards.
>>
Their footballing structure from youth to senior level is probably at semi-amateur level and funded far less than slavic shitholes
