@Ephsquare @wortz62 @FrankieQuigs @DuBoseDefense Great article. I agree that the US just doesn’t develop players. I’m sure Paul would know better than me. I still think that a huge part of the problem is that most of our best potential soccer players go play other sports. Whether they succeed in this sports is another thing

@mgdoyle1993 @FrankieQuigs @DuBoseDefense lol I just got our misunderstanding. I’m not saying it is just as easy to catch a ball with your hands as it is with your feet. I’m saying that both require athleticism. They differ in degree of difficulty, but they don’t differ in kind.

@mgdoyle1993 @FrankieQuigs @DuBoseDefense No? Do you think the water in Europe/South America makes them more dexterous with their feet?

@denzil00_ @MartinWind31149 @BowTiedCrow Sometimes? Tom Brady comes to mind. But obviously both are pretty equally important. LeBron is the obvious example for this, a freak athlete with elite basketball IQ. Are you arguing that Messi is un-athletic? If so I think we have different definitions of athleticism

@Ephsquare @wortz62 @FrankieQuigs @DuBoseDefense So you think that American football and basketball are just checkers compared to the chess played in the Premiere League? It’s all the same skills/talent. The only difference is what sport it is applied to.

@MartinWind31149 @BowTiedCrow No we just have 30x the population of Belgium. Gooogle a bell curve or maybe Olympic medal counts idk.

@PaynterBar43153 @BowTiedCrow I think he makes it very clear that, given our hundreds of Saquon Barkely’s, at least SOME of them would be world caliber soccer players. Which would be better than the 0 world caliber soccer players currently on the USMNT roster.

@RopesTheDon @BowTiedCrow Because we don’t like soccer. Kids don’t grow up idolizing Messi, they like SGA, Jamarr Chase, Bryce Harper, etc. Kids dont like it as much, so we don’t support youth soccer, so we don’t get good pros, so kids have no one to look up to. It’s a cycle, and it makes perfect sense.

@wortz62 @FrankieQuigs @DuBoseDefense Assuming they had a build/body type that lends itself to soccer

[𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐜𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞 @Cmcguire18]

@Nerazzurro57 @FrankieQuigs @DuBoseDefense What do you mean? He’s saying that having control of your feet isn’t athleticism and I’m saying that being coordinated (in your feet or otherwise) IS athleticism. At least that’s part of it. There’s also speed, strength, flexibility, etc.

[𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐜𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞 @Cmcguire18]

@FrankieQuigs @DuBoseDefense If you don’t think that foot control and body control are correlated (or imo the exact same thing) you’re out of your mind. It’s all athleticism. You said it yourself it’s a specialization. Catching a ball with your hands takes the same athleticism as “catching” it with your feet

Yeah bro things are exactly the same as the Jimbo years.

@ElijWarner824 @Tjonesonthenba Thunder scored 82pts btw, good luck winning the series with that

@Thundertaker25 Welcome to sports? “Player wouldn’t be as good if he weren’t naturally physically gifted!”….yep that’s how it works

I’m just gonna reject your premise entirely that the regular season is ever irrelevant under any circumstance. Why even play/watch the games if you don’t care about them?

@AcitynamedReno @BBsBigHouse1 @Rivals @AggieYellOn3 @AggiesToday @CodyBellaire @SWiltfong_ @CharlesPower @samspiegs @mark95matthews @ChadSimmons_ @GregSmithRivals @GregBiggins Almost like we fired that coaching staff and got a new one that is winning and getting a bunch of guys drafted. Idk maybe it’s that

And like Shabaz said, we set a school record for draft picks this past year. Google is free
