Why does America dominate soccer?

[4Corners]

I can tell right away that you've never left America before. Hockey and Basketball aren't even shown on European television.

To watch basketball you have to pay £10 a month for ESPN, a failing channel that had to cling on to another failing channel called BT sport which is 100% subsidized by BT broadband customers, only a few thousand people out of a country of millions actually have these channels.

Hockey isn't even aired on European televison, PERIOD.

You could take an entire hockey team and Lebron James, send them shopping in Tesco and nobody would ask them for an autograph or even recognize them.

These are not world sports, so it makes it even more hilarious when you've got European basketball players beating clowns like Lebron James.

Lol Basketball is massively popular in several Europeans countries, maybe not the UK because you guys don't play it.

Hockey is popular in several, several European countries. Question, have you ever left the UK???

I've been to Mexico, Canada, Greece, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Sweden, and England by the way.

I'll entertain the argument about soccer, not that the Brits are any good on the world level collectively either. Which is sad because it's one of their popular ones.

But when he starts saying we suck at Golf and Boxing, c'mon now lol Just stop it

When Mayweather retires in September, who do you have to root for? For a country of 330+ million you're completely pathetic. UK fans have a million times more talent to root for and we have 250+ million less population.

Hockey is not popular at all, stop making a fool of yourself.

Basketball is only known in Europe because of Space Jam

Monaco has an anti-American sentiment, he's just trying to troll Americans after we had our Superior Colonials Day.

True, so far i think i seen three different threads where he's trying to bash america. I think we have a case of sandy vagina....

Hockey is very popular in Russia, Sweden, Finland, Slovakia, Germany, Norway, and the Czech. Like I said, several European countries. Stop it, you don't know anything about hockey so just stop it.

So then they claim we are only good at sports we play, nevermind that baseball is played all over Latin America and Japan as well, and basketball is one of the most global sports around too. And hockey we're 2nd best at next to our northern neighbors, and hockey is widely popular in plenty of European countries as well.

I looked at the World Cup results for Baseball and Basketball.

Cuba lead the USA 25-2 in terms of Baseball World Cup wins.
Yugoslavia (a country which no longer exists) are level with the USA in terms of Basketball World Cup wins.

The US are nowhere in terms of Hockey World Cup wins so I assume you meant Ice Hockey which is a different sport.

[Beercules]

Americans invent sports only they play so they can win.

English invent sports that everyone beats them at.
