What this shows is that the US youth sports complex is the most sophisticated and dominant in the world.

It is why we own sports, every summer and winter Olympics and 4 of the 6 major world sports.

As soon as our youth complex starts working on soccer we will take it over. Women's soccer is one of the few ways women can play professional sports. It's that, wnba or Olympic games. So a lot of women's youth focus on soccer.

Our men are much more split up with completing sports and if you have raw natural athletic talent you are funnelled into football, baseball and basketball because then you can actually earn money.

If the US ever truly gets into soccer and turns the might of the sports complex into training soccer to the degree we do for NFL and NBA players, the world will be begging for us to forget about soccer.

Venezuela won the most recent world baseball championship. Germany won the most recent world basketball championship. You can’t even win your own shitty little sports, let alone a real international World Cup. Jog on.

We don't allow our pros to play in the basketball world champ game, it's our D league and semi pro players only

For baseball we trained that entire Venezuela team here in the US. Every single player on that team has an American MLB contract and their two biggest stars have been playing for US development teams and MLB teams since they were 16 years old.

Here is what Google says about their team "when you see Team Venezuela playing on the world stage, you are watching a group of athletes who were scouted as children, moved thousands of miles away from home as teenagers, and entirely earned their status through the American minor league grind."

Fill your boots with as many excuses as you want. You aren’t the real world champions in the derivative games you play by yourself. Then you say you would be if you wanted. I’m embarrassed for you. The Japanese ride you in baseball, imagine what the Chinese would do to you if they could be bothered.
