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.

There are actually more then a few professional Basketball leauges in Europe.  All the European players that a currently playing in the NBA played professionally in Europe before they got drafted.  Even Dirk played professionally in Germany before he was drafted by and joined the Dallas Maveriks.
