@hcf_m2h The fact that they could not is the reason why basketball is a freak show, not a sport.

Soccer is the only sport where truly any size/shape can be a world class player.

@NobletStrength This guy would be a better RB than Saquon Barkley, just give him 6 months.

Or is that a ridiculous statement?

@Sea_Devil @GiverOfWater @PlatoonPod Are you drunk?

@KylePagan_ Still 20

@HedgeDirty Mate, 4.

@bwnoles It's the other way around. We pick soccer before we know if we're going to become elite athletes

[David P @dfurfp]

@TigersJUK I would really love to see a match where some 2nd tier gridiron and basketball players spend some time training soccer, then have to play some fat hungover middle aged men on Hackney Marshes who have been playing all their lives.

@ketchup2mePls @Buddyloveless He wouldn't even make a level 10 team in England after putting in 12 hour days for a year.

[David P @dfurfp]

@WeLoopLong @BallinFFB They play for 80 mins and don't stop every 9 seconds

[David P @dfurfp]

@OregonHomer Something I don't think Americans understand is that you basically don't "pick" in England, you just play football. From like 3 years old. If you're middle class you might play cricket in the summer, if you're strong/stupid you might play rugby union.

@markvalorian I would love to see a match between some "a tier athletes" who have just started playing soccer and a load of fat hungover men from Hackney marshes who have been playing since birth.

@jbaraldi11 @HarryMu64883045 @ademir2z Soccer makes players grow less tall?

[David P @dfurfp]

@JFPuget @mbeisen Don't confuse 21st century nations with ancient people of the same name

[David P @dfurfp]

@nw3 @Gugabed @mbeisen Not just raids, there were several Danish kings and consider the language you are using also

[David P @dfurfp]

@nateyamasaki Haaland is an outlier because he's also skilful. We have plenty of elite athletes in Europe who get embarrassed by tiny sparrows with feet like mercury.

[David P @dfurfp]

@afc2nfc Many of the best footballers I've ever played with have also been hilarious unathletic. The two things aren't linked at all!

[David P @dfurfp]

@titans_h0mer @afc2nfc If you ever played with anyone who played at even level 10 in the English pyramid you would see how laughable it is to think an "athlete" would get near a PL side after 6 months.

[David P @dfurfp]

@_basilp @Kallimach0s @DuBoseDefense @WHolmes94 They are just tall. The athleticism comes later.

[David P @dfurfp]

@XLebronPulisic @DuBoseDefense @WHolmes94 And also good! I've been playing my whole life and I'm shite!
