I guess if the US would put their mind to it they could be one of the leading football nations.

I heard this before...

Is there any team sports that America is always in the top 5 of the world that is actually played by Europeans / Asians?
Basketball, handegg, Baseball are pretty much US only.

Not really no.

Baseball is HUGE in South America and Japan.

A lot of Europeon countries are quite fond of basketball as is China.

Football is... well a version of Football. 

Assosiation Football is the only codified football that really is popular outside of it's home state.

Even Rugby has different Rugby football rules that makes it different country to country.
