Well the betting has already started at our company apartment. I took 4-1 Brazil. $20 each. One Trinidadian, one Scot, one South African, one Venezuelan, and myself.

He wouldn't have to. AP would have lost the ball 30 yards ago.

Sure he would learn. But would he ever be able to compete with the best in the world? No.

If AP and Lebron grew up playing soccer, went to camps like the greatest do, then they would be able to compete with the best. Soccer is more than just being big and powerful, it's 50% chemistry with your team as well.

I don't disagree with any of that. If soccer was the main sport in the USA, we would have amazing soccer players. But it isn't, and we don't.

You could put all those nfl and nba players on te field and just me and they wouldn't be able to take the ball away. That's how bad they would be.
