[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Put a video up of our top AAU U10 basketball teams and ask the same question. Our top talent chooses other sports. Take basketball and American football away and force soccer as our number one sport with Equal access to the everyone I promise you the USA win a World Cup within 15-20 years and dominates from there out. The team won't look the same as it has for the past 50 years. You will have majority African Americans on the roster. The game won't appeal as much to mommy and daddy who live in Potomac and will watch the precious little trophy kids get dominated. You will also see many more latin children drift away as the more generations that are from the USA water down the genetic talent. [/quote]

The sport chooses the talent. It is a logical fallacy to assume that top basketball players would be dominant in soccer. On top of height, the genetic differentiators for pro basketball players is wing span. Their arms are longer than at a disproportionate rate to the general population. The last I checked, arms aren't used much in soccer.

It is just a stupid argument to make. Soccer is just not a cultural phenomena in this country and it most likely never will be. We have talent, we have athletes but we are simply a very ignorant nation when it comes to soccer. In short, we really don't know what we are doing. The women's side has been gifted a handicap of general international disinterest in the women's game for nearly 3 decades that has provided us with a large lead.[/quote]
