This seems to be quite true. Football is the easiest pick up game of all time barring fighting.

All you need is a ball. That's it, but it's seen as a sport for rich white kids or poor spics.

Still I don't care. Nfl is fun to watch and if they didn't play it, who would?

This. Thread should have ended right there. Soccer hasn't yet received the proper and full recognition as a "serious" sport here, and is still seen as novel leisure game & extracurricular activity for people under 18.

>The 'Wall Street Journal' has run the numbers and found that your average MLB game is a 90-percent standing around. Over at the Wall Street Journal, they took a stop-watch to three MLB games of varying overall length and found that the average three-hour game includes less than 18 minutes of actual baseball action.
http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/theres-about-18-minutes-of-action-in-your-average-mlb-game/

>The NFL's popularity is all the more remarkable when you inspect the fare it has to offer each week on television. An average professional football game lasts 3 hours and 12 minutes, but if you tally up the time when the ball is actually in play, the action amounts to a mere 11 minutes.

Divegrass has always, ALWAYS been seen as a commie sport and for gay people, like literal faggots. Plus we didn't have domestic league until FIFA forced one in 1994. So basically 25 years of divegrass, and we've come within seconds of beating TSUUUUnaldo, a set piece of beating Belgium. Further then England and Mexico have gone in recent WC. Constantly topping concacaf. Not too bad. Also our best athletes choosing other sports. Odell Beckham apparently got scouted to play in Europe at like 13, but didn't want to leave USA.

You can be a good soccer player without being an athletic superfreak. Ivan Rakitic looks like he got stuffed in lockers as a kid. N'Golo Kante is dominating the Premier League.
Of course you need to be a good athlete but you also need the desire and the training to hone your skills that starts very young and continues all the way until adulthood. If you want compete at the highest levels. You need support networks, recruitment, top coaching, proper scouting. Then you also need to move to Europe as a teenager. American kids don't do that.

We literally don't play soccer.
For a vast majority of Americans it is a sport for kids and women.
75% of the population couldn't name an active player, and that's counting the huge number of spics.
Kids growing up want to be a football, baseball, basketball, or even hockey player, because that's what they will always see.
Also I am not going to bring up the "we would dominate if we cared" excuse because we have too much of an emphasis on athleticism which is barely half of what it takes for soccer.
Could we produce a world class talent? Sure, probably a couple, but it isn't a given. Just look at China, Russia, and India.

For the 666th time: being "our best athlete" is not how you become a good soccer player. That's not how skill is created.

The best players in the world can be manlets, retards, fatties, skeletons, 17-year-olds, 38-year-olds, it literally does not matter.

But the one question you continuously evade, the one thing that you curiously fail to answer is this; Why does it matter than one nation out of 195 isn't culturally invested in the sport?

>>
>>74708927
The reason why the United States have never produced a world class footballer is because we Americans only care about soccer when it's the FIFA World Cup.

Yup. There's too many sports to care about (NFL, MLB, NBA, oh and this thing called the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament). Plus, America doesn't have a major pro soccer league with an extensive history (Major League Soccer only dates back to 1996).

looking for a non-meme answer, what's the youth development in the US like? I doubt there at all on par with anything you'd get in europe and south america, do mls teams even have academies? I imagine without the proper academy development even promising talent would get wasted here

I am not "you Europeans" and I couldn't care less about the parochial habits of the American consumer, but it is sad to know that a nation with top-class infrastructure, a rich sports culture and good genetics is unable to produce even one (1) good player in the world's most popular sport.
>>
>>74708927
No because Blacks and mexicans have never been a world class player

Only white people are and in America white people only make up 40% of the population

We have. It's a women's sport.

Hope Solo.

Your goalie was pretty good. The bearded one. Ofc we all agree that Poles produce very good (not the best) goalies but still.

It's just not a thing here. If I had to list what sports I'm likely to just go casually play pickup in:
1) Basketball
2) Touch football
3) Volleyball
4) Softball
5) Soccer

It's basically impossible to just go play soccer unless you live near immigrants

Baseball, mostly
Swimming, Polo, Lacrosse, Hockey, NASCAR, wrestling, etc.

Wasn't our goalie actually unironically good? I don't even remember his name todd or tim or something

>>74709028
I don't think it was really marketed that way it just naturally gravitated that way.

If you're a middle class "soccer mom", soccer is a sport that's very easy to get into and not popular enough to be extremely competitive.

If you have a son play basketball he's going to get posted up by some 6'5 behemoth when he's in 5th grade and not have any fun, and if he plays football his brain is going to turn into mush.

This decision is even easier if you have girls. Women's football doesn't really even exist, and women's basketball is dominated by butch lesbians, and you don't want your daughter bringing Britney Griner home for dinner. So soccer is the natural alternative.

Soccer is for kids because it isn't super popular yet.

Nah.

The real problem is that there just aren't enough people that can push them in the direction of soccer. Most Americans barely know the rules and any youth coach is basically guaranteed to be complete shit. It's simply a matter of culture.

Reminder that the Chinese and Indians have like five times the population of the US and have never even produced a player of the same quality as Jozy Altidore.

We were selected to play in the first ever football world Cup, but the journey was too long and costly to be bothered about. FIFA were quite mad we rejected them. We upon realizing the colossal mistake, entered and finishing fourth in 1956 Olympics. Neville D'SOUZA scored a hattrick and was top scorer in the tournament. we won the 1962 Asian games gold. We finished runner-up in the subsequent AFC Asian cup in 1964. Recently JSW Bengaluru FC became the first Indian club to finish runner up in the 2016 AFC CUP, beating the last editions champions in the semifinal. I hope I have answered your question satisfactorily.

>not a single half decent athelte in the most popular sport on Earth
Here's the thing, soccer isn't popular in America for one reason above all else: it's not commercial-friendly.

There are two 45-minute halves of uninterrupted activity, which means no TV network wants to air it since they can't get kickbacks from advertisers.

This is true.

And this isn't even including things like skateboarding/biking which is extremely popular here in the states.
