[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all seem to miss the point of the argument. You really can’t dispute that there are NFL/NBA athletes that have far more base athletic ability (which would transfer over and be beneficial in soccer) than most professional soccer players. If they were put in the same proper soccer training environments at the same ages they would likely have become elite soccer players.

But we miss many of those kids - for some it’s the pull and glamour and cultural deference to NFL/NBA, others it is knowledge, access and cost or underserved communities.

With that said, we still have more kids playing soccer than some better countries have in total population - we should be doing better. [/quote]

The intelligent people who understand the combination of skills required to be an elite soccer player are disagreeing with your emotional romantic argument because it's not based on logic nor evidence nor facts nor truth.

What evidence can you provide that shows because someone is good at basketball as an adult they would have been as good at soccer?[/quote]
