[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe but in a country that prioritizes other sports over soccer, he may have never played soccer in the first place.

I have always thought this debate was a poor one. Top athletes play football, basketball, and baseball before soccer.

If the top 100 players alone in either football or basketball grew up playing soccer instead, we would have a dynasty. Imagine Lebron James in goal and Tyreek Hill as an attacking CM. Oh hell…NFL edition is soccer was top sport in US.

GK - AJ Brown
CB - Micah Parsons
CB- Travis Kelce
LB - Christian Mcaffrey
RB - Antoine Winfield Jr
HCM - Lamar Jackson or Mahomes
ACM - Tyreek Hill
LW - Ceedee Lamb
RW - Deebo Samual
ST - Justin Jefferson
ST - Devante Adams[/quote]

Stop, just stop.  You are everything that is wrong with American soccer...thinking that 6'6" 260 lbs guys are going to dominate against Messi, di Maria and others is just embarrassing yourself. [/quote]

Tell me you know nothing about the NFL without telling me.

They all aren’t 6’6”. I think Kelce is the only one that is that tall. Everyone else is 6’2 or less except Mahomes. I picked these on purpose for that very reason alone genius.

Who is the one of the most respected CBs in the game?

Van Dyk. 6’5” to Kelce 6’6. Kelce would win every time in a foot race and in physically.

Ronaldo 6’2 to Jefferson at 6’1”.

Just some examples.

If these NFL players would have played soccer from a young age, we would be dominant just like in Basketball. It’s not rocket science.

You, sir, are an idiot. [/quote]

Chickens for KFC! Yeah, Justin Jefferson is not as athletic or as smart as Ronaldo and Tyreek Hill or Christian Mcaffrey are too dumb to be similar to Messi. If either of those two would have played soccer instead of American football, it would have been game over.

Are you going to argue Matt Turner would have been a better Wide Receiver than AJ Brown? Or Pulisic would have been a Hall of Fame Cornerback? Tyler Adams a Hall of Fame QB? I think Messi could have been a Darren Sproles type RB. Ronaldo probably a Safety. But we literally have hundreds of these types playing football and basketball and none playing soccer. Hell I don’t think Pepe is even athletic enough to play D1 college football.

Only trained soccer players are good at soccer.

Maybe we should have some of the US Men's soccer team start playing basketball so we can beat South Sudan by more than a point [/quote]
