USA vs Wales ends in a draw basically proves that Wales royally sucks at soccer?

[bean2k21]

Where I'm from in America, we play a real sport called football. Football, for you Europeans, is an American sport where you throw and run an elliptical ball and actually tackle each other to the ground in order to stop the opposing team. It involves strategy, which is why Americans love it.

Europeans, on the other hand, don't like to get their hands dirty, or get hurt, so they kick a little ball around. It also involves very little strategy since the position of the ball on the field is random.

Now, Americans don't really like soccer, and yet still beat Wales, who practically lives it. So, doesn't that mean Wales must royally suck at soccer? Honestly, what's the excuse for not winning? Saving your energy for a battle with the French or what?

God, here you go with the whole "Uh, haven't you heard of rugby" defense. Ok, I know what rugby is, it is popular with lesbian sorority girls in the States.

Wales is a tiny country lucky to have a team whereas the US has a huge population and all sorts of money to throw at it.

The Welsh are one of the Rugby teams in the world. Rugby is a game where you throw and run an elliptical ball and actually tackle each other to the ground in order to stop the opposing team. It involves strategy. But unlike those pussies in America they don't wear helmets or protective padding.

So you are saying lesbians in America are more manly than NFL players? The only pads lesbian rugby players wear are tampax.

We have a similar sport called rugby but there's no padding or helmets and it doesn't stop every 30 seconds so you can eat a hot dog

Wales are a very poor team filled with England rejects

The national sport of Wales is actually Rugby union. However, association football (soccer and a real sport) enjoys higher participation due to it being a more inclusive game.

Wales are a tiny nation with population of less than 4 million people. There are almost 12 million registered association football players (soccer) in the United States. That is over 3 times the entire population of Wales.

Given those facts, USA vs Wales ending in a draw at the Fifa world cup is nothing short of embarrassing for the USA and goes to show they royally suck to the max at association football.

Wales is one of the worst selections of the 2022 World Cup, but it is not as bad as to say it stinks.

Teams are not "selected" for the World Cup. They play their way in. Wales played well enough to qualify for the World Cup... let's give them credit for that and not diss them. If you recall, the United States didn't even qualify 4 years ago.

by the way, United States is ranked 16th in the world, while Wales is ranked 19th... that's not very different.

It is a translation error, in Spanish, the National teams are called selections.

Spoken by someone who knows nothing about soccer and clearly isn't aware that rugby exists lol.

In the end, the U. S. basically choked again.
