USA has top notch world class atheletes who would never play soccer ever.

if our top atheletes played soccer it would be domination.


just imagine a bunch of 6'2''-6'9'' dudes who are faster and stronger.

What makes you think American athletes could automatically achieve "domination" in any sport they tried? That's ridiculous.

And again, being 6'9" is not much of an advantage when playing football, except for goalkeepers. Even then it's probably too much height. Balance, acceleration, change of pace, intelligence, anticipation and technique are all far more important than height, speed and strength in football. Sure, if you're 6'9" and built like a beast you are going to win headers more often, but as the English learned in the '90s this hardly guarantees success.
