@PaulSpacey I don’t buy this. The U.S. women dominate international soccer. Likely because soccer is the number one sport for US women and title XI. Men’s soccer being the 5th or lower most popular sport and receiving relatively minimal resources definitely is a significant factor.
@wischlist@savemeishbia Playoff performance is a major factor in who the best team is. The Cubs barely even won the World Series and probably wouldn’t have without the help of Mother Nature. I think your fandom and recency bias is coming into play here.
@wischlist@savemeishbia This is a bad take. I don’t think it’s particularly close. The ‘05 Sox were arguably the most dominant team in MLB playoff history.
