American sports fans absolutely have tradition and sports culture. It might look different, but that’s how different cultures work. IDK if you’re implying we don’t have that or not, but it’s not true that Americans just “can’t understand sports traditions” lol
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.
This is the first comment I saw to mention the USA. I’m not sure if we’d be the NEXT non-SA/Euro team to win it, but I do think we’re heading that way in a generation or two. The US is only just seeing the results of actual development programs, and I think the USMNT can only go up from here.
I think Japan is the next big one. They’ve got a golden team right now. If they make the most of it, they could squeak a win out.
What makes you think this is a mindset that began in the US? Where do you think the US got most of its cultural values?
