They try to set up a world baseball thing but Americans dont care and thus American players dont care and probably wont for decades.
>>64282408
The US is the best at boreball. We don't field all of our best players during the WBC, especially pitching.
Unfortunately we just don't take international baseball seriously.

>>64282341
Heavyweight Boxing: England
>>64282463
It's a combination of the players not wanting to risk injury or don't care enough to be a part of it
You would think being "America's pastime" would have them take more notice of something to prove their nation the best
>>64282463
Basically, yes. Pitching is very taxing and costly elbow surgery is commonplace. If you have Tommy John surgery you're out for more than a year.
The domestic competition (MLB) has more history and prestige than international play. Clubs do not want to risk their players to injury during an international competition.

Can't say that we love the franchise system, but it's worked so far.
Though you can't say NT futbal isn't garnished by money. Half the entire fucking world watches the World Cup and players are paid well for it -- if not granted lots of prestige (see: more contract offers) for playing well on an elite level.
>>64282591
it's mainly baseball because it's much riskier than many other sports thanks to the immense toll pitching takes on an arm and the insanely long season

>>64282341

>>64282647
I think only the Dominican could be a half-way serious threat to a full powered US team. And they probably don't have the pitching to hang with us.

The English problem: Do I pretend to give a shit about engineering, in which case Germany is reigning champion. Or do I care more about drivers, in which case Germany has as many titles as England even though fielding 1/4th of the drivers.

International baseball doesn't rake in the money international soccer brings in
Those soccer stars can make a ton of money by being signed somewhere else but what other place in the world would offer an American baseball player the amount they get here?
>>64282145
Spain :
6 none European players can be signed
only 4 are allowed to play on the pitch during match day
only 3 can be named for match day -> starting 2005
player union wants that clubs have to name at least 6 Spanish players
for starting formation. This caused by Luis van Gaal who had only 3 Spanish
players in his starting formation.
players from South America get a Spanish status after 2 years playing in a Spanish division
starting 2003: 4 none European players can be signed
Third division team are only allowed to sign Spanish and EC players
Germany :
5 none European players can be signed
only 3 are allowed to play on the pitch during match day
there`s a trick : more than 5 non EC players can be signed if they get
an amateur status
Non-EC players in a 1st and 2nd Bundesliga club's amateur team are no longer allowed
to name for match day. (only for players signed after 20th January 2003)
players from UEFA countries have an EC status
teams must have 12 German players in the team
Regional-League (3.division) team and below are not allowed to sign non-European players

Sorta makes one wonder about opinions of England's chances if they were in a group with real powerhouses.
>>64287916
I always think it's funny how Brits always think the absurd tongue-in-cheek America wins 1-1--best tie against the British since Bunker Hill troll headline is like somehow serious.
They always flip a tit. "Don't Yanks realize a tie isn't a victory, durrr."
>>64287968
it's a bit of a mixed bag frankly, sometimes we embarrass ourselves and other times we poull off some great victory, but most of the time it's just steady but predictable progression until we get knocked out in the knockout stages by a better team
>>64287983
Americans always cry in this fashion when it's posted though, which is fantastic.

>>64288054

Sounds like it would be popular on Nantucket if that's the case.

England was supposed to walk over the group without breaking a sweat.
1-1 was as good as a win for the US.
>>64282044
We have a limit and it makes the situation worse, young players get big contracts and a guaranteed starting XI spot, get undeservedly big contracts just because of their passport and become lazy and unmotivated faggots.
>>64288185
Absolutely, I'm not the one disputing that nor the fact that it was a joke headline. I just find it funny how upset people get when it's posted.
