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

    Well, Alphonso Davies is Canadian, and also from a family of immigrants from a country who are mad about football.

    An outlier, and he isn’t even part if tbe US team because he’s Canadian.

      I’m aware he’s Canadian but Vancouver is an MLS club. Tyler Adams, gio Reyna, they Aaronson brothers, Weston McKennie, all have MLS academy roots. There’s tons more. I used AD as an example of the level of players coming from the US based system. And honestly, you probably knew that and came across as purposely obtuse to reiterate your false narrative. Again, we aren’t putting players out at a level like Brazil, Portugal, the Dutch etc, but to state we have no interest, or investment in soccer is demonstrably false

        Yeah but the football system he grew up in, the sporting culture he grew up in, was Canadian, not American.
