After the Ronaldo and Ronaldinho era Brazil was never the same, they have that guy Neymar now but I doubt that he alone could beat the entire team of stars of countries like Germany, Spain or even England.

They will be when they decide to get their shit together and stop living off past glories.

This is now a german appreciation thread. Because everybody know they'll gonna win the next Euro Cup.

Japan 1 - Brazil 2

How the fuck that called beat ?

Japan are actually pretty good now and Brazil are a shadow of their former selves, so it's definitely possible. I'd have a harder time believing they could beat Spain, Germany or the Netherlands.

Make me remember of the last epi. of Captain Tsubasa, the Japan vs. Brazil game in a World Cup final. Funny that they don't show the match and the anime ends without showing which of the teams won, maybe they knew it was too impossible for them.

>>61097283
Football or "soccer" is played by kicking and passing a ball with your foot.
The so called "football" you are thinking of is played by throwing an egg around with your hands and minimal kicking ever happens.

Get this shit off /a/, soccer is for poorfags in poorfag countries who can't afford to play better sports like football and baseball.

that was just too fucking cliched and forced drama

Only when they have a chance at the world cup, other than that no. They only care about baseball, even during the offseason they talk non-stop about it.

The only reason America pretends to not care about "soccer" is because they're shit at it. And they decide to choose the most hipster sports to try and be good at like Baseball and Handegg so they can be no 1. "Soccer" is the most global sport in the world.

>>61097845
Then why did US organized 1994 World Cup?

Anybody here watched the Super Kickers episode where Japan plays against Germany in the WC final game?

Ain't easy being Ibrahimovic; settle El Clasico 1-0 and scoring 12 goals despite having an ongoing conflict with Pep Guardiola and being sidelined for most of the second half of the season. Class player, pretty big ego (but he's shown in Swedish media to actually be pretty humble aboust most things, and he is a team player; he just didn't mesh well with Barca and especially Pep Guardiola's style).

But yeah, asking if one of the most well-paid and famous football players in the world, who had a 65 million dollar transfer to Barcelona, and has won several Scudetto is famous outside of his native country is pretty silly.

Well I found this few days ago, and beside stupid title it's surprisingly good. No "laser-shot" or "secret-move" crap like in some sport mangas. Also there are male players and teams in it.
But still, I don't understand why there are no men volleyball manga. I knew this sport is not on same level as football or baseball, but I found at least four mangas about golf (GOLF!) on mangafox alone! What the hell?!

Don't listen to what these trolls are saying, I'm american and I respect and like soccer, although I know that I'm like one in a million and I'm pretty sure that soccer will never be a popular or great sport here in America but I still like to cheer for our players at the World Cup, the CONCACAF cup and for my team (NY Red Bulls).

>>61099173
Spain's only good now because they have Xavi and Iniesta who never lose possession. And the new German playing style suits Spain too. Just like I hardly see Barcelona has any problem when playing against German teams.

This will change when Xavi retires of course.

>>61099156

Maybe because the best teams in the world are in Spain don't you think?
BTW, the Spain team is basically a Barcelona + Real Madrid dream team.

Although the fact that they loose to Portugal and Argentina right after they won the WC is to think about if that team will be sustainable for the next WC.

>>61099479
Yeah, that's the annoying thing.
Absolutely all German shows are on Youtube. But I hate to stream them...

Well, beggars can't be choosers. Unfortunately our Anime fanbase consists of girls that are obsessed with yaoi instead of helping the community.

I remember having seen Attack No. 1 on ORF1. It established my opinion that anime is badly animated crap. I also WTFed that they put the girls in chains in order to execute a very painful training. Fucking japs.

I realized that this is anime only later, when someone on the TV said that "anime and manga is that stuff with the big eyes".

1.) That was always Spain's national theme
2.) More like 90% Barça and maybe 2-3 Real Madrid players nowadays (with a few from the English league)
3.) Just because a league is good it doesn't mean the national theme is good. Spain right now owes more to Cruyff and the League of the Netherlands than to its own football tradition.

Don't get me wrong, IMHO Spain, Germany and Netherlands are the strongest teams right now and any of them deserved the last World Cup (well, ok, Netherlands not so much given how they went to chaotic evil on the final match instead of doing their regular playing style but they still are a strong as fuck team)

Attack no.1 is set in post-war Japan where the adults were still brought up during the Taisho (Imperialist Japan) and they consider their children have to be absolutely loyal to them while excelling at everything.

>Well, beggars can't be choosers. Unfortunately our Anime fanbase consists of girls that are obsessed with yaoi instead of helping the community.
Are YOU actually helping the community yourself? Nope? Don't complain then.

Not that I disagree with your assessment of the community, it's just that it's the same with every language. Yes, even English and Japanese, try going outside of /a/ and you'll see how amerifat fans are not much better (it's just that our yaoi fujoshis are more active and willing to shell out money while german male fans almost never shell out money and generally are not as shameless as the female ones)

FIFA is controlled by corrupt and conservative bureaucrats that don't deserve any kind of respect, and I'm a spaniard who loves football but I hate that old twat of Blatter, really he is the one that make people believe that football is not the same sport that was in the 20th century, it's actually much worse now.

For me Australia deserved much more to hold the 2022 WC than Qatar.

>>61100545
Feel free to suggest good sports anime, I really liked Giant Killing.

I neither watch nor particularly care about football/soccer, yet all this art of cute girls in football jerseys is incredibly amusing. I don't even care for half these girls.

Why is this?

Why is football the only one to get this treatment? What do I have to give to get Kate in hockey pads?

>>61100870
Because it's actually a popular sport.

IIRC 2nd most popular in Japan though (most popular is Baseball)

>>61100601
Nah he's right. Not just Spain but also England and all of Europe hate Blatter because he's a corrupt bastard. There's no way Quatar deserve the 2022 WC.

>>61100601
Nope, I was sad sure but Rio de Janeiro deserved even with all the violence I know how the things are there and they are commited to really make everything work, Qatar is a great country too no doubt about it but it's stupid islamic-based laws will end up fucking everything. Now they have to explain why you will not be able to drink beer or any alcoholic beverage in the games or even worse, why gay people will have to hide themselves and not going to the games because it's fucking illegal being homosexual there.
It's like they want to make a major sport event in a country with laws from medieval times.

I have nothing against muslims or anything, but a major sport event should be made in countries that are prepared to receive EVERYBODY.

>>61100984
Oh, that is true, my point is rather is that all these organizations are corrupt as fuck.

Of course Qatar didn't deserve it (neither did Russia IMHO) it's just that they had enough spare cash to outplay their caucasian competitors who were offering marketing contracts that Blatter would never see a dime off by the time they actually were in effect

>>61101070
>Now they have to explain why you will not be able to drink beer or any alcoholic beverage in the games or even worse, why gay people will have to hide themselves and not going to the games because it's fucking illegal being homosexual there.

Is that so different from USA?
You can't carry around alcoholic beverages when you're under 21 or when it's liquor (or something stupid like this). You have to hide if you belong to certain sexual minorities, like being an ephebophile.

>>61101301
How is the USA a country that is actually worth jack when it comes to the FIFA World Cup (the male cup, that is).
I don't even know how you guys were allowed to hold the 1994 World Cup, much less the Olympics in mormonland Salt Lake City (which toook a heavy toll on all the artistic gymnastics categories given how they penalized "obscene" performances)

>>61101070
The Arab World kinda deserved a WC considering how much football is popular over there, the problem is that muslim based laws are really a pain in the ass for the ones who want to appreciate a good football match on the same way they do in any other western or not muslim oriented country.

The UAE would be a better choice to host a WC than Qatar since they have more relaxed laws about this issues involving homosexuals and alcohol for foreigners than Qatar, but since they didn't make a bid for the tournament we now have to deal with it.
We also have to consider that is almost right that Blatter and the rest of the FIFA commite were bribed.

>>61101442
The octopus is dead already isn't he? He's even better than Nostradamus.

>>61101588

He already was an old sage by Octopus lifespan standards when the 2010 WC was around.

>>61100976
But why BASEBALL?
I'm American and I don't even understand why that is.

>>61102163
You're American and you can't remember a time when baseball is "America's favorite pastime?"

>>61102163
When baseball was introduced, Japanese were still small.
I guess that it makes sense they decided on sport with small ball and almost no physical contact.

>>61102444
>America's favorite pastime
>America's
Exactly, I recognize that's it popular in America. But it's a sport that gets almost zero attention outside of America, how the fuck did it wind up so popular in Japan?

>>61102163
Basically, Baseball is extremely popular in South East Asia in general.
Probably because it's the one professional sport that is the most about the team while individual talents are only strong on relative terms.
A good forward or a good goalkeeper in football can save your team on his own, a good quarterback in American Football or a star player in basketball will do wonders to get you out of a slump.

A good pitcher or a pinch batter can help you excel but they cannot save an aweful team from ending up dead last.
And South East Asian cultures dig that philosophy of "the team/society is more important than the individual talent". It puts all the strong points and all the weak points into a common pot so they can share the blame if they lose (even if they contributed significantly to the defeat) and share the glory if they win (even if they didn't do jack).

>>61102714

hey, got any more im@s girls in football outfits?
I love how they look in this.

>>61100531
That fucking uniform, even worse that the blinding one the Barça used years ago. This is why Mexico it's doomed to fail at every world cup.

This is the last one I saved from an Im@s thread some days ago.
If you ask on the im@s thread someone should have them all and maybe even the link to the artist

East Asia, not South East Asia, South East Asia are countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia where I'm quite sure that soccer is more popular than baseball.

Even by that consider the fact that soccer is still very popular in East Asia, I was in China during the World Cup and during that time people didn't talk about other thing other than the WC, what was funny 'cause they were not even in it and they don't like their own style of soccer (which is pretty bad seen by both the foreign media and the average chinese). Aside that most fans here cheer for a european team.

In Japan, soccer is the number 2 sport in popularity and participation, even surpassing their own traditional sports like sumo, karate or judo.

>/a/ talking about Football.
Oh man how did I miss this gem.

>>61103290
Oh yeah you guys just lost Capello. What a fucking waste if you ask me.

Is anyone actually watching this show?

>>61103217
Oh, sorry, I thought that included Japan.

Basically, I meant (in my head) Asian countries that were traditionally dominated/influenced by China as opposed to those influenced by India.
You are right though, Football is the second or even first most popular sport in those countries and they mostly focus on foreign leagues, not so much on their own ones.

With Baseball however, (at least in Japan and I hear also in Korea but that place is starcraft country) they actually have a league that's considered one of the best and excellent talents they can, for the most part, actually retain (most good players in Football play in the European leagues while mediocre European players know they can make for a living going to the "top leagues" in Asia and the Arab world)

>>61103563
Because you're too busy crying about how shitty Neverton are

>>61102163
The J-League (Japanese championship) is the biggest football tournament of the entire Asia, even bigger than those of arab countries that are even more fanatic about football.

In Japan the sports are divided in popularity by this:

1. Baseball
2. Soccer/Football
3. Sumo

>>61103885
Yeah.
And I heard Sumo is actually losing popularity due to match-fixing scandals and being basically bought up by the Yakuza

It's so hard to say it in the way everybody in the world say it? Soccer in countries where other types of football already exist (Australia, US) and football everywhere else.
