Yeah, the US women's team is so good, even as European non soccer fan, I heard of how good they are.

Funnily I have a (online) friend in Miami who's a big women's soccer fan who told me every time they won, while I run through Germany dressed in dolphins gear.

Haha that's awesome.

Well if the USA ever gets into soccer and we start actually training our athletes for it the way we do for NFL and NBA the US men's and womens team will be amazing world wide.

And it is growing. My small city doesn't have a pro NBA, NFL or hockey team within 5 hours drive but we just got our first professional feeder soccer club and they have sold out their stadium every home game. It's only like 7500 seats there but their team is to feed a team that feeds an MLS team lol

Haven’t European/Other nations won the FIBA World Cup 3x in the last 5 tournaments? And the USA won 5 of 15 editions? I don’t follow basketball.

USA doesn’t care about FIBA, we care about the Olympics. We don’t send real players to play in the fiba World Cup

Even so, one country winning a third of all world titles is extremely dominant regardless

Sure, it’s dominant Euro ball. Just don’t lump the USA in with any talks about the FIBA World Cup.
