        Your sources have been smoking too much ganja.

          I am willing to learn the facts. Is it a secret? Just asking...

            I checked and correct me if I am wrong (or my source is)... 3rd place in 1930 which according to Lazie doesn't count... and 8th place in 2002. Mind you, we are comparing the relative success of Uruguay and USA (not Jamaica). Uruguay is still by far the greater achiever of the two countries... USA is a bg fish in a small pond... Uruguay's achievement in CONMEBOL is admirable.

            I am not trying to take away from USA achievement but we must admire what a country of 3.5 million has done.

              Are we talking about clubs or countries Peter?

                  Are we talking bout achievements or "abundance of talent"? Since Enzo Francescoli retired what has Uruguay done before the current crop of players got noticed by you and X?

                    Just pointing out how incorrect your statement is on the USA never making it past the round of 16. Sure, 1930 isn't modern football history. But 2002?

                    Anyway, I completely agree with you regarding Uruguay; a small country consistently producing world class players and getting impressive results.

                      I did not discount either date.. I guess I should have put: "which according to Lazie doesn't count" in parentheses.

                        Sheer population size should have the US at the front...but what has so-so talent to do with ability to field good team 3 deep?

                        Talent is usually latent. It is the development of same that gets the awful or wonderful team.

                        ...let me add that - not scientific - but I would guess number/hundred JA would be in top world rated producers of the talented athlete. ...just my bias showing? ...gut feeling!!! ...and based on the 'tons' of boys and girls seen during my school-days - primary through college - who were potentially world class who just never even 'came out' for 'training' or who for one reason or the other (parents needed them to work, lack of funds to purchase even the very basic of equipment...or were never motivated to work on the development of the talent) had the opportunities to shine.

                            Wrong where .... remove certain players from Uruguay they're not the same team. The question is about abundance of talent not who won world cups. England has won 1 WC, does that mean they have more talent than the Netherlands?

                              Uruguay have also won two World Cups (1930 & 1950).

                                This shouldn't even be a question. Answer is the US by far. As ome of the other posters mention, this does not mean they will have a better team per sey...just more talent to choose from.
