As far as an "all out effort" think about Lebron, Adrian Peterson, Calvin Johnson, etc
the kind of athletes you named wouldn't help a bit. It take a totally different type of athlete for soccer. We have the type of athletes needed for soccer in this country right now, they just aren't getting the proper training and backing. Football and basketball athletes does not necessarily equate to soccer athletes. Soccer is a more finesse sport that takes a more cerebral athlete along with many other traits that aren't found among very many NFL or NBA players. Different sports take different types of athletes.

If you don't think an athlete like LeBron would be good at soccer I don't know what to tell you Tim Howard thanks High School basketball for a lot the skills he has as a goalie.
