^lol "because the rest off the world can't play any sports in America" LOL, another very ignorant American statement bro. Sorry, I got no problem with u, I'm just keeping it real.

Baseball: Japan > America. U can also argue Cuba, South Korea & Venezuela > America
Hockey: Canada > Russia > USA
Basketball - USA doesn't dominate like they used to anymore. Argentina, Italy & Spain really compete with them.

Football is the only sport Americans straight up dominate of the sports that are played in America.

& if U want to bring up Tennis, Nadal (Spanish) & Federer (Swizz) run shit.

So I don't see how that statement holds up at all.

agreed, minus basketball; Olyimpic Gold counts for something.

but Baseball is the biggest sport in Japan, Cuba, South Korea & Venezuela, moreso than Soccer.

& Hockey is the biggest sport in Canada & Russia, moreso than Soccer.

i don't know if i can explain that into a way for you to understand, but the way i have it in my head, it makes sense lol.

like Brazil or Ireland for example, both of their biggest sports is Soccer, but you won't see them playing in any of the sports you named above, whereas Baseball is more played in Japan or Cuba than Soccer so the fact that they are better than us in Baseball doesn't really bother me.

A survey of the premier league in 05-06 showed that...


--- Quote ---...midfielders were measured as the Premiership's hardest-working players, with right midfielders, such as Gerrard, the most energetic of all. The average ground covered by those in this position, 11.49km per game (7 miles) was not too far short of the figures for Gerrard. Centre-backs did the least running but even they averaged a fraction under 10km per match. Right midfielders also did the most fast running, an average of 147 heart-thumping "high intensity" bursts per match and covering 310m flat out.

The average recovery time Premiership midfielders enjoy between "high-intensity activities" in games is 40 seconds

"high-intensity activities" — runs made by players at three-quarters of sprint pace or faster — have increased from 627 per team per match in 2002-03 to 1,209 in 2005-06, and the ground covered by players while sprinting has increased by 40% over four years. A sprint is classed as a run made at quicker than seven metres per second, equivalent to running 100m in a sharp 14 seconds.

Those are 3/4 years old and i wouldn't be surprised if it was higher now, I don't get how you can seriously say that in football
