Dude, if you haven't noticed we don't give two fucks about soccer. We have football, basketball, lacrosse, hockey, baseball, and the alternative sports like skateboarding, wakeboarding, etc, and many others that are much more popular. There is a reason most kids play soccer in kindergarten and 1st grade and even 2nd grade. Because it is the only sport they are coordinated enough to play. Once you get to 2nd grade you can enter pee-wee football, and start hittin' people. Football is a collision sport, basketball is a contact sport. Football is a lesson in physics.

The truth is a soccer player wouldn't last a day in the league. It is not because he doesn't know the game either, it's because they are far superior athletes. Antonio Gates played basketball in college not football, but he is such a good athlete he got put at tight end, learned the system, and is arguably the best in the league at his position. Football takes a high intelligence and fast decision making skills. Soccer takes....does it take intelligence? There ain't too many rules, plays, formations, so idunno...

the pot continues to stir itself.
