Sorry, goober, but that's a bullsh!t statistic when one country has 10 times the population of the other. You'd also have to correlate in the actual number of football players in each country also to come up with something a little more meaningful than what you're trying to sell.

Would you use the same type of reasoning to come up with the conclusion that because the USA hasn't won a Gold Medal in the Olympics or World Basketball championships since 2000 ( beaten by countries during that period like Spain, Italy, Argentina, Greece, Puerto Rico, etc.), US basketball players overall just aren't as "good" as the players in those countries also and American players just aren't very good at basketball?

Good try though. If it will make you feel better, why don't you just come right out and say "Nanny nanny boo-boo, my country is better than yours."

Freaking juvenile crap.......
