Thanny you do not understand.
we are bigger/ faster
we are stronger.
our athletic ability is unmatched.
if you add "practicing soccer since they are 4 year olds"

it would = DOMINATION. kicking a ball around is great and all with practice..


How much "juice" do they have
Its become quite questionable now who in the US Athletics team is clean

There is more to producing good athletes than just population. In a lot of those other factors, America still wins out against a lot of other countries. The US leads in gold medals, and a lot of other things, because of a combination of factors that Australia* (and pretty much every other country on Earth) still could not replicate simply by matching the population of the US.

You do not have the right to never be offended.

Your idiocy just swamps the forums.



Look at the reaction the US had when we beat em in the pool at Sydney.

They were like but but but we won more medals than Australia. Even thought we won with gold.

Or was that the Goodwill Games????

Norway has the most Olympic winter gold medals so I would say Norway has the best athletes besides United states are more of a collection of countrys than a single country.



Think twice before helping a friend in need.

Just remembered about when we studied the olympics history and stuff in sports studies last year and when the US hosted the games the scientists in the labs were incredibly corrupt (except the one who was being interviewed) and they let something ridiculous like 22 US athletes compete after failing drug tests due to steroids. This is also happened in the Sydney olympics and the testers took bribes from a number of teams including the US one.



Well they buy up most athletes ... so the answer is no IMO ...

Having watched both rugby and football, I can, without a doubt, say people in football hit A LOT harder. Not only that, but you'll notice people running a lot faster in football too. This is because they don't have to worry about all that momentum as much when they're tackled because of the pads. Pads allow you to play harder. It's not that those who play rugby are tougher, but that their sport is softer. (I'm not saying they're weak by any means. They take a beating because of the lack of pads.)


AFL is tougher than both of them.

Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it

The United States is a big melting pot, they got every race that excel in each field of strength,endurance,agility and etc. I think we all agree on different race is better suit at different field, for a country like U.S I dont doubt they can bring up a race that is suitable for each sport.

and for Weezy Body size and strength isn't all you need to win, put your big man in certain spots that required reflex and you'll never win. e.g. Ping Pong, Platform diving, skiing.

But is Norway also that dominant in the summer games? 

Alot of countries also have athletes who originate from elsewhere, or whose heritage arises from elsewhere.
