Do you think Michael Vick only has straight line speed? He's a gifted athlete that can change direction at the drop of a dime, just like most of the athletes in NFL secondaries and offensive backfields. Now imagine he was introduced to soccer at age 5 and had 20+ years of coaching, practice, and league competition. You dont think he would be able to do what Messi can do with the ball?

Even then, our men's team had a strong showing in the last world cup, barely losing to #1 Germany (1-0), then dominating Portugal with your precious Ronaldo. Didnt Portugal need a last minute goal just to tie us? And then we took the #2 Belgium team to overtime. Now imagine we had a few extra elite athletes that grew up playing soccer instead of football.

What you're saying is obvious. If our best athletes played soccer their whole lives they'd be dominant. I'm not sure anyone can resist that argument .

It doesn't matter if you like soccer or not, it is a NATIONAL team.

I would root for a US table tennis world champion team, I don't give a flip about the sport, but I fuggin love Murica and she gets my support whenever we have an opportunity it to show everyone how much better than them we are.

      Down in Atlanta....

      By hepcat · Posted

      I hate to praise Atlanta but what they did was not dumb. The only issue is where they drafted Penix. #8 overall was very high for a QB with Penix’s injury history. But it wasn’t a bad decision. I wish the Panthers took a broader approach to finding a franchise QB after Cam.  Cousins is old and recovering from a serious injury, so he is obviously a temporary placeholder. It makes sense they hedged their bet on Cousins, because Atlanta was burned by holding onto Matt Ryan too long while his skills degraded. If Cousins can still play, Penix gets to sit on the bench and learn which has proven to be a winning strategy for developing young QBs. If Cousins sucks or gets hurt again, they have a legit backup plan to see what they have in Penix.  Where are the Panthers if Bryce gets hurt or sucks again this season? The season is over and they’ll be considering drafting another QB next year.

      Same as when Jordan Gross said that having to block Julius Peppers made him a better player. But I mean no sh*t, having to block one of the best DE’s of all time will up your game. I bet Gross went up against other DE’s in games and was like, this is nothing. Horn isn’t that level of player obviously, but Legette has his work cut out for him going against Horn in practice. The coaches should be able to tell pretty quick what they have in Legette.
