Dumb American question about our athletes...?

I saw your post but didnt have a chance to answer before you trolled and gave a quick best answer. Here is my answer....

You obviously dont speak for all Americans, just the ignorant ones that think 'soccer' isnt a real sport. Not all top athletes can play 'soccer', look at Chad Ochocinco Johnson. He was one of the best NFL receivers and tried to walk on for an MLS team, and could only make the reserve squad. Even Michael Vick, who is a true athlete, hes fast, agile and tough but I dont think he could play 'soccer'. His speed would become useless because he has to keep the ball at his feet and I doubt he has the skill of Messi or Ronaldo who are so fast even with the ball at their feet. His judgement is piss poor and having good judgment is part of playing the game. Tom Brady who is arguably the best Quarterback ever to play in the NFL but isnt tough enough or have the foot coordination to play the game of 'soccer'. LeBron James, who I think would be fantastic at heading the ball probably like Ochocinco couldnt even make a team in the MLS, which I consider a VERY LOW league in terms of 'soccer'.

Lets not forget 'soccer' is also a game of endurance. American Football, stops after almost every play, they have time outs for the teams, plus television time out. Substitutions are made consistantly, you change from offense to defense regularly and technically the game is only 60 minutes but last 3 hours because of timeouts and commercials. So they break longer than they play. The NBA, also has timeouts for teams and commercials, they sub players in and out and a game is only 48 minutes but last 2 hours. In 'soccer' its a 90 minute plus game with a short half time, but there is also added time for injuries and subs. Teams are only allowed 3 subs per game unlike other sports where they are unlimited. Players run back and forth playing both offense and defense for long periods of time. Technically one half of 'soccer' is longer than an actual basketball game. I would put the stamina of any 'soccer' player up against any other athlete.

Just because someone is an amazing athlete doesnt mean they can play other sports and dominate. There was a stretch of time in Olympic basketball where the US had a hard time and didnt win a gold medal. In baseball the game is dominated by latin america. In basketball the team that won the NBA title, the Dallas Mavericks won because of their star player who is GERMAN. NO the US wouldnt dominate if we put our 'best' athletes out there on the pitch, because its a different game.

and just so there is a question here and I dont get in trouble.

Will the Euro 2012 finals come down to Spain and Germany?
