The thing is, you guys wonder why we can't beat you at soccer. And you laugh and laugh....

I get it. But here's the thing. Our best athletes play Football, Basketball, and Baseball in that order.

You've got no shot at our best athletes in those sports. If we decided to take off our pads and come at you in a game of rugby? It would take... at best 2 years and we would dominate the world.

Soccer? Get out of here. Your seeing our 4th tier athletes, at best; and we're still close to qualifying. If we had our best athletes in your 'beautiful game,' it would be like the America's Cup... we would win every year.




Pyros: Good grief. I root for a college football team. Every one of our (skill) guys runs in the low 10s. That's nowhere near a 4.2.

A 4.2 is Olympic speed. Like, best ever.


(I'm sure the guy is great, but don't ever listen to BR... Bleacher Report.) They're awful.

Yup. That's why all the best baseball leagues are in... Scotland? Norway? Oh.. wait... they're here.

Sometimes countries think they can take us, and we don't send our best. Then we do, and we destroy the competition. I know we're real jerks when it comes to global politics. But sports? We kind of own that ****.

Geez, man... I said we suck at other stuff. I totally gave that to you.

I'm just saying we're good at sports. I know we **** up the world, I'm not proud and I'm trying to change it. Give me sports, huh? :D

If Americans would give up geo-politics, and Europeans would give up sports... as a trade... would you take it?

I sure would. I think the western world would be a much better place!


EDIT: WAIT!!!!!! I just thought about that! Maybe I need to think about you crazy Europeans too!
It wasn't too long ago that you guys were kind of angry at each other over there. You needed us!

I guess we're all nuts.

Yup, American Armoured let's not let the game get in the way of the adverts. That is not a sport, or a game, it's a pointless marketing exercise. For hours and hours.

I sat through the superbowl once (unsure what is above a bowl, but there you go) it lasted about nine hours for just under 80 minutes of a game. And it's not much of a game as you keep stopping it and changing both the teams all the time. Best bit is watching the official breaks, where teams of around 2,700 people all try and run down a tunnel designed for 22.

As for American sports we have:

Baseball - British invention
Gridiron - Based on Rugby (in turn based on football)
Basketball - a Canadian invention

I think you do get first dibs on Ultimate Frisbee though.

As for American sports we have:

Baseball - Exactly like Cricket
Gridiron - Based on Rugby (in turn based on football) Guffaw
Basketball - a Canadian invention (You're just plain wrong)

(don't get me started on why you're wrong about the others) Frisbee is awesome by the way.

By the way... we (Americans) got music all over you too.


I know you have lovely stuff with Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, etc. You really deserve props for that.

What the hell have you done lately though? I know... you're gonna say The Beatles, and The Who, blah blah.... But you know what they would have been without us? Nothing!!!!

Jazz. Rock and Roll. R + B. Country and Western. We Are Music.


So. We have Music and Sports, pretty much undeniably. You guys are better drivers... I'll give you that. I'll even give you the automobile... but we win pretty much everything else.

I don't know if Americans invented musicals, but please keep them to yourselves. I don't understand the singing without a reason.
