World Cup

S,
I know you say you plan on watching the games.
Well, God Bless You.

I watched the 2nd half of the US/England - Draw.

It is strange to watch a US national team (in any sport), where our American team is smaller and not quicker than the other country. Soccer seems to be a country club sport in America, where the good athletes dominate,while the great athletes are playing the other sports.
Not that my 4 years of coaching helps with the machinations of the game, but I do know athletic talent when I see it. That US team maybe the best soccer players in the US, but they are not close to the best athletes.

I wish a 不illionaire would open up a tryout to the fastest and quickest athletes in America for people 21 and Under.They can train for 3 years at Soccer at 200k -300k a year.
Focus on getting the freak athletes that were good enough to play professional sports in the US.

I think they would beat the US team or at least shut them out.

Can you imagine the 6foot to 6 foot 8 quick ex-college basketball/Football players that are under under a 4.6 40, working on defense against these methodical offenses.
Or a 6-8 Goalie with a 6-11 wingspan and quickness.

How about a Diego Clone but at 6 foot instead of 5 foot 4.
How many football tailbacks have you watched in college, they can't play in the NFL, but they would be the best athlete on the soccer field, every game anywhere in the world.
