No... that's because I'm watching OTHER sports...with the BEST athletes in the world! lol


I watch those too.
I wasn’t saying soccer has the best athletes

But the Lebron you know today wouldn’t be built like the Lebron he is today if he started playing soccer since the age of 5

You have absolutely NO evidence to back that up! None...that is your theory. I could counter that and say yes he would! Again, prove it!

I mean how can you prove what you’re saying too?

Nutrition, weight lifting etc is far different in soccer than it is in basketball

So you need a midget to be a goalie then? How about Lebron? Has there ever been a goalie with Lebrons size and athleticism? Which still proves the point...our BEST athletes don't play soccer. PERIOD!!!

No I'm dead serious and support the OPs point. I 100% believe that we don't compete because we don't have our most talented athletes playing the sport of soccer. You can tell me that it doesn't matter, but when i watch us play, me eyes tell me that Michael Bradley fricking sucks lol Our subs against Mexico was Roldan? Kidding me? lol

You are an idiot

we already have better athletes than almost everyone we play

it comes down to other factors not who has the best athletes on the pitch

For one them big tall arse dudes have big arse feet

from experience controlling the ball with big feet is much harder to do

You're an idiot...we don't...and the simple fact that you cant see it is why America will never win at soccer. Blind to the true root of the problem

Dude, you are the one whose whole argument is "if this happened then blah blah blah).

How about you try to prove that before you try to ask people to disprove your pretend hypothesis.

He was also much younger. Being 3 weeks from 32 years old is playing a big role.
