well i was thinking since their is a world cup soccer,baseball next it should be football right.

No....usa would murder anybody...thats the reason they don't have an olympic team because most good players are from the USA so it would be pretty much a massacre...

There isn't actually a WORLD tournament for baseball. It's just every team in America.

They should call it the American Series, not the World Series.

-AC

o really well football should be before baseball. that would be awesome,Asian people playing football?

Yea, they're is.

It's the World Baseball Classic, and has teams from Canada, most of the Caribean countries, Japan, South Korea, South Africa, Mexico, USA and a couple of other smaller nations.

So yes, they're is an world tournament for baseball.

But I agree that the World Series, shouldnt be called the World Series, but its already been done, and its been called that for over 60 years.

They cant have an American football tournment because only 2 countries play the sport and both of them have completly different rules, so they're isnt any point.

Face it, soccer is the best

I have been asking myself that quesion for years as to why its called "World Series" when most of the teams are in the US and 1 in Canada, last time I checked the world was more than 2 countries unless they are talking about players from around the world, even then the name should be changed.

well what about the football thing do you think their should be a world cup football

The "World Series" did receive that name from the first financial sponsor of the event - the "New York World".

-AC then how did korea beat japan?

Is that still the World Series? Or is that just allowing teams that are good?

If that's the case, USA can kiss their ticket to the World Cup goodbye unless they get better.

-AC

Argentina - 6
Serbia & Montenegro - 0

And to think Europeans just scored once against them in an entire qualifying round.

No, its not the World Series... its the World Baseball Classic, an baseball tournment that countries take part in, like the ones I mentioned.

The World Series is the playoff in Major League Baseball. Countries have nothing to do with this.

I think it is called the world series because the players are from all over the world....

And the NFL, featuring teams with domed stadiums.

If American football had a world cup, i would blind myself. Only in america....please

Soccer/Football/futbol IS all over the world and it makes alot of sence.

Basketball is also an international sport but they only do touranment for thgat in the olympics. Same with baseball

BUT IT is Football. ( soccer is the italian word for football) everyone else in the world calls it football. Its even in the name FIFA....... football association

And only 2 countries i know of play " american football" how can you play world cup " american football' when two countries play it seriously??????? Besides american football is a pansy game, Rugby is FAR better, lol.

I thought it derived from "association football".

baseball started a world tournament this year, and basketball plays internationaly too. American style football does have teams in canada and europe, but a world wide tournament would be stupid because it would be an NFL pro-bowl team against no bodies.

That's okay. I call sports I know nothing about pieces of shit kiddie games, too. Like rugby.

The players whoe play in Canada and Europe usually play there because they arn't good enough to play in the NFL....
