re: Does USA soccer need more brothas playing?

being great at NFL football or basketball does not equate to having the potiential to be great at Soccer. Soccer requires a lot more finesse, endurance, and intelligence than what NFL players possess. It's a bit more of a chess match. You need finesse and touch, intelligent play, great coordination and endurance with a burst of speed, determination and dedication, and a great ability to work as a team. It's the total opposite of the characteristics of what our top elite athletes possess in our top sports. Soccer could co-exist along with NFL football and NBA basketball as a top league sport in the USA if we developed the players in the proper manner.
