Fast I'll agree with, but as good? We'd have a team stacked full of Robbie Findley's. Soccer isn't all about athleticism, it takes lots of skill and awareness that have to be practiced and refined for years.

Put it in a language this ´engendro´ will understand.

That would be like a baseball team that can´t throw, can´t hit, and can decently catch. They´re all fast as hell, however.

What are you going to do? Teach them to bunt?

Even then, they aren´t going to score much, and they damned sure are going to let in a lot of runs.
