lol okay well when you actually think about it isn't that really your reason for defending Americas major sports, since in reality no one else plays them on a major level hence why you're all 'world' champions not domestic ones?
You honestly think that all these countries support 'soccer' simply because of national pride and not because they simply enjoy the sport? lol If that was the case then people would only ever watch International matches and no one would give a shit about all the domestic leagues or cups, and obviously that isn't the case
Also what's with the whole 'your country can't play any other sports' ? LOL like in the last decade we haven't been World Champs in Rugby/Cricket, won Gold Medals at Olympics, No.1 Golfer or even GBR having the No.4 Tennis player in the world? You can say all these sports don't mean shit, hopefully when you say that you'll understand that that's how we (and most of the world) feel about NBA/MLB/NFL/Hockey

I like football but a game between 2 teams from a country that i have no connection with just doesnt excite me even if Messi or whoever is considered the best is playing.

Stop acting like your love for Soccer isn't PURELY based on some nationalistic shit. The entire country pulls for it, hence you follow your country. If Soccer was dominated by Americans & Europeans played Baseball or Football & your country still supported those sports like they did Soccer, you'd be in this very thread today shitting on Soccer & saying how Baseball is the best.
Soccer is based on "my country > your country", don't front.

Majority of soccer fans prefer club play over international play.

lol @ acting like "club play" isn't just the city inside the country.
Like I root for the USA in the World Baseball Classic, but I root for New York over Boston in MLB. There are obviously in-state rivals & you rep your city over another one.
& lol, this nigga said "cricket champions". Just look at the sports you mentioned. Nobody but Europeans & Indians truly play cricket seriously. Golf is a sport invented Europeans, I would hope one of you could play that lol. Tennis is a sport for rich White people, nobody said Europeans were poor & you and us dominate that shit. Why didn't you say Polo champions too? In all seriousness, you bragging about cricket & having the fourth best golfer, despite inventing the sport is like Looney coming in here & saying Asians can't be fucked with in ping-pong.
Funny too. Europe is made up of a bunch of countries, so it's like 15 countries just against America. The law of averages says that some of you guys from across the pond HAVE to be able to compete.
& Baseball can't be pure nationalism because Baseball is played by a majority of immigrants, half who came here illegally, yet we're out there rooting for them because we love the sport.

It's not driven by pride of the country thoughHere's an example. If Barcelona were to go to the Champions League Final vs Manchester United, then Real Madrid fans would rather see Manchester United win. The only pride that I see being mentioned sometimes is the strength of the league. It's similar to how people react to the different conferences in college sports. SEC vs Pac 10 etc blah blah.
