LMFAO Messi when he returns to Argentina to run for president after spending 25 years in Florida:

‘When the U.S. sends its footballers, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re sending players that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing their high school gym teachers. They’re bringing ”American football” coaches. They’re basketball players. And some, I assume, actually play real futbol and not just long-distance hackysack.”

LOL! We have a winner of this thread.

Thanks

you cant be that dumb. im pretty sure in US produce the money maker sports are not soccer. The money talks. Lets compare salaries of those sports in the US. Hmmm yea im going for mls. No im picking football, basketball, baseball.. christ hockey. We are simply not attracting the best. I will repeat until it becomes a primary sport US soccer will suffer.

Soccer in America is not "attracting the best kids" from where?
Mexico? Cuba? Dominican Republic?

Where is your factual verifiable scientific provable evidence that at 5, 6 and 7 years old, the sport performance "ceiling" of all kids in America is identified and the ones with the highest "ceiling" choose sports other than soccer?

How is "ceiling" measured?
What is "ceiling"?
What are the elements of this "ceiling" as it applies to Each Sport?

(as you said, I'm dumb, so I need you to spell it out)

My favorite player! The Croatian wizard.

Except that Modric and Messi are both fast and athletic on top of having brilliant skills, same as with every single player in all the top leagues in the world. Even OP’s extremely overly simplistic question doesn’t ask about a kid’s height.

Modric and Messi have quick reaction and fast frequency feet

They are not "fast" over distance

They are absolutely fast over distance compared to the general population, as well as having all the other things.

Never seen Messi or Modric on any list of fastest footballers
General population is quite irrelevant

How do you explain that the past 5 NBA MVP's are European?
How do you explain 1/5 the NBA is European?
How do you explain the number of baseball players not from America?
How do you explain the current International Basketball World Champion isn't America?

Original poster, what you've asked is one of the most insanely idiotic questions I have ever read. At no point should speed or technical ability should be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this board is now dumber for having read it. I aware you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Love it. When the "basketball-Americans" flood into Argentina seeking refuge, they will find there is no place for them on the futbol team.

Just look at what Modric did on their last champions league match vs Bayern. The man took a corner and Madrid lost the ball which triggered a fast counter. He managed to run from the corner flag to his own box to tackle the ball at the last second. How is that not fast?

But it also depends on the position. Technical ability is most more important and valuable for center midfielders especially the attacking midfielder. Whereas speed is most important for outside and center forwards.

What are they doing with that speed that actually applicable to the game?

results on international stage. And watching what near end of career Europeans do when they play mls. Again moronic statement if you think the majority of our top potential kids are playing soccer. Its not a primary sport here. And big money in other US sports. Prove it wrong..
