I don't know why people (not necessarily here, but in many places) are shocked that countries full of immigrants are doing so well. When you can not only produce your own talent, but take talent away from other countries, you excel. That's why the U.S. being so inept at the game is so crazy. You could probably field a team of just first-generation Americans that are the children of immigrants from this country and make a run at the World Cup if the system here wasn't so fukked up with things like warring youth soccer organizations and a prohibitive cost to playing organized league soccer (sorry, I'm talking about the U.S., so I'm using the "s" word).

But I digress. As someone born in the U.S., it's crazy how much of its athletic success is basically down to the institution of antebellum slavery. There are so many knock-on benefits to colonizing another place well into the future, even when we're in a post-colonial situation.

EDIT: Someone posted a picture of what the Moroccan and (I think) Democratic Republic of the Congo teams would look like without colonization, and both of those teams would be World Cup favorites easily. I need to find that picture; I couldn't quickly see it after a Google Image Search, but it really drove the point home.

The real Ronaldo couldn’t even do it against France in 1998. Arguably at his peak.
ronaldo was poisoned before that match, he was so scared of that happening again he couldnt sleep at all 4 years later in the finals against germany
