[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are all missing my point. I agree mostly with the prior couple of posts. But is a kid is short and light, even if they are fast and skilled, they lose in the physical part of the game. The best short players I have seen are SOLID. Not thin, not light. Weight matters. Again—not complaining!!! I wish I could sing, but guess what… I can’t. Genes are genes.[/quote]

And that's why Messi never amounted to anything. [/quote]

Messi is a superior athlete first. Im sure if were raised in the Dominican Republic he would have ended up a HOF shortstop. [/quote]

First of all, no...no one of his size would play short stop. 
Second, what's your point exactly?[/quote]

My point is Messi isn't there strictly because of his hard work and technical skills. He is a superior athlete who then worked hard on his technical skills to master them. His success doesn't happen if he weren't the athlete he is.[/quote]

This is hysterical.  Yeah - Barcelona picked Messi up because he was an athlete.  He literally had no technical skills at all when they discovered him hanging upside down from a tree in Patagonia.  They're actually kicking themslves for missing out on Usain Bolt who would have been an even better soccer player than Messi had they picked him up.  How could they miss such an obvious superstar?  What idiots.[/quote]

No youre the idiot it is going over your head. Look at it this way. Lebron James who has never played soccer. Give him one year of training and he will be better than your son will ever be. Not good enough to play pro maybe . But by just being a superior athlete makes him quicker to learn and out perform the average athlete. Now put a soccer ball in front of him from age 5 and the same coaching as Messi received there is a 100% chance he become a pro soccer player.[/quote]

Tyreek Hill, the NFL’s fastest player, would be a better example. His speed, explosiveness and quickness/agility would be unstoppable if he had soccer skills too. [/quote]

Yeah, that's why the world's fastest man got offered a contract in Malta's 2nd division and Sergio Busquets has a World Cup medal.  [/quote]
