[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speed, Size and strength can beat skill. Ask any girl who plays soccer with boys after puberty.[/quote]

This oversimplifies things. In a soccer match played by the rules, a team of small but highly skilled professional female soccer players will run circles around a team of big, fast, and strong male basketball players.  But it’s also true that a team of highly skilled professional female soccer players will struggle against a team of somewhat less skilled male soccer players. At some point the skill advantage is not enough to overcome the speed/size/strength disadvantage.  The question is where those lines cross. [/quote]

No. The basketball players would still win.

But you can easily see this in games. If a striker of an opposing team is faster than the fullbacks, good luck winning.  I don't care how skilled your fullback is, he/she better be fast. You can't use your technical skills to stop someone that you can't catch.[/quote]

Why are there small men on nearly every team in the major European leagues?  Surely there are bigger / faster / stronger men who would love to have their roster spots. [/quote]

Obvious.  Because they don't play basketball.  Duh.[/quote]
