[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This constant comparison of soccer to American football is why folks just don’t get it
-------------------------

More likely, men's soccer is a blip on the American sports radar. People just don't care.[/quote]

It is a soccer forum so people here do care. Comparing developmental models of successful European soccer academies, in a internationally competitive environment to the development methods and cycle of a completely different sport played only by one country is what is stupid.

The two sports do not resemble one another at all. Success in football after starting the sport after 15 years old does not equate similar success in soccer on the same timeline. [/quote]

Nobody's comparing the "developmental models of successful European soccer academies, in a internationally competitive environment to the development methods and cycle of a completely different sport played only by one country" [I bet you worked a long time on that sentence and must feel pretty proud of it]. The point has to do with athletes playing multiple sports and being successful.

In the point above, football was an example --- which if you kept reading was followed by other examples.
If you think american kids start football after 15 years old and that's when they start developing, I'd invite to visit summer camps in Florida, Texas, and California --- you might learning something.

In any event, my point was that I believe multi-sports athletes can be as successful than specialized athletes with less risk to their bodies and minds.
