I think the third continent to lift the world cup will be Asia and Japan is really a good contender

          as if you aren’t delusional about your own country. the usa has a stronger and bigger pool to choose from. and more resources and and easier region to get into the world cup from . so yeah the usa has a better chance of winning it compared to any asian country. cope fucming tool

            Yeah sure they have a bigger pool and more resources, then they still ended up with 4 of the starting 11 being players not born and raised in America in their last game. Also they don’t need to qualify with it being a home tournament lol so obv it’s easier to qualify.

              i meant more so future tournaments on the regular. CONCACAF is easier to advance through imo and doesn’t matter if they weren’t born or raised in the usa. born to american servicemen and women’s theyre american. you are showing a bit of xenophobia on your end

      I think it is more the travel effect that the American players might be more used too. Imagine a team going from San Francisco to new York then to Seattle to play their group games. Then to Miami for the next round. There are lots of players that probably will never have to travel that far and that often.

        It wasn’t much of an advantage in World Cups in Brazil and Russia.

        Also high level players nowadays are always traveling around even in Europe, they are definitely used to travel and its effect on them.

        Take a look at the Brazilian Serie A ou Brazil’s Cup. Brazil continental continuos land mass is bigger than the US. Also CL games can be very far away, Cyprus and Turkey games come to mind. Old school Libertadores also had Mexicans playing in it, and it wasn’t uncommom for a Brazilian team to play in São Paulo Sunday, then Tijuana Wednesday, then Recife next Sunday, just to travel again to São Paulo to train at Tuesday. Nah, I don’t think the distance matter that much. Also World Cup schedules are usually thought ahead to avoid long travels in a row.

      Not OP, but I think the US will get surprisingly far, but no shot at winning with our current team lol. Give it another 3 or 4 WC’s and then we’ll talk.

      In a world where Mexico is also in the list, then yes. For years now, the US has been consistently winning against them, so it’d be just prejudice to say Mexico would have a chance but the US doesn’t.

      We all know it’s not their favorite sport or that they’re not that great at it, but a question was asked and this fella’s trying to answer it from existing data.
