[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In basketball, our best of the best are the best in the world.

In soccer, our best of the best are not the best in the world.

Same thing in Europe but in reverse.

Our best soccer players are not the best in Europe

Get it?

Yawn...have you had a new thought or idea over the last 20 years or so?
The US is barely dominant in basketball any more, you can see the NBA becoming more and more international every year. 
And US soccer has progressed amazingly over the last decade or so. Our national team now is populated by players from top European teams.

The world is catching up to us in basketball, and we're catching up to the world in soccer. Neither happened overnight, but that's where the trend is heading. [/quote]

Except that on the woman's side, the world is catching up to us and may surpass us soon in soccer.

And in Women's basketball, the US is as dominant as ever. Obviously, there are different discussions to be had if your're talking about men's or women's sports. [/quote]

Well, 7 of 35 top draft picks in the WNBA were from outside of the US. And the WNBA is a tiny league.  I agree with you that on both the men's and woman's side, the world is catching up to us.

I disagree with you that US soccer is catching up to the world on the men's side, and the rise of women's soccer outside of the US as compared to the players the US is developing further underscores how broken the US system is. [/quote]
