I will take that on the chin!!! Sorry...
As far as world wide games are concerned soccer and basketball are certainly huge. I can't think of two more wie spread and more watched games.
Basketball clowns always amazed me with their antics and the good old Globetrotters were fun to watch.. I just checked to see if Meadowlark Lemon was still going and caught his history.. cool.
The game is well supported down here The Boomers (aus) and the Tall Blacks (NZ) from down under do quite well too.

"I would have to say its rubbish ,looks to me if your six foot seven you get to be a basket ball player ,its a girls game !!! "
Hahaha there are many miraculous players who are not six foot seven. Nate robinson is only 5 foot nine and he is an extraordinary player. i pardon u for your lack of knowledge!!!!
I didn't think so.

Well i thought it was the harlem globetrotters. i didnt really look to see if it had changed to allstars. They played the washington generals and beat them once again. I would had liked to see more long crazy shots though.

Probably a lot better than most national sides but would they have competed at top level?

It is just foolish to look at sports that way. In the US, soccer is basically a girls game.

Auckland hosted the game and made a 1.76 million loss on the game. Only 16000 turned up.
Wellington hosted LA last year and made a fortune on a similar game.
I pretty sure USA will climb the ranks and if I were a betting person I'd bet on USA winning a world cup before England simply because England think they know how to play where as USA just want to get better and do.
