| weezy said: Hate to bring this up.... The reason we (U.S.) don't dominate soccer (like we do with every other sport) is becuase all of our best atheletes are playing basketball, football americano and baseball. Just imagine if LeBron James was a soccer player? HOLY SHIT Is this not true? |
No, defintely not true. I'm sure we would be better, but to say that someone like LeBron James, as wonderful a basketball player as he is, could have been a top footballer is pretty ridiculous. Size doesn't mean much in soccer, except for goalkeepers. There aren't any top players who are 6'9" or whatever. Diego Maradona was, what, 5'4", Pele 5'11". Being faster/stronger doesn't make you the best footballer around either (obviously they don't hurt).
As for American football, most positions in that game are based more on strength and wrestling and very few on actual technique, which is at a premium in world football. And very few of our best athletes are playing baseball, let's get real.
