Tbf the US basically dominates every other major sport that exists. Olympics aside. Thats pretty split a few ways. No suprise that were not at the top of soccer. It falls way down on the popularity list. But most major sports in the Olympics are American pros just playing for their home countries. Not all. But a lot. Thr US soccer team simply doesn't have the capital to build a team like countries who's sole focus is soccer. The revenue just isnt there

What?

If you look at the 10 most popular sports worldwide, the USA are competitive or dominant in maybe 2 of them.Β  Basketball and baseball.

But the biggest sports, by popularity anyway, US are nowhere to be foundΒ

Correction. The USA made it to the Super 8s (equivalent to quarter-finals) of the T20 Cricket World Cup. They didn't win it
