that being said, these vaginas playing soccer couldnt last 3 seconds on a football field ... they couldnt hit a lick in baseball ... they couldnt shoot a basketball ... every single person playing any of the three major sports could play soccer at a relatively decent level ...
and dont get me started on hockey ... most underrated sport on the planet ... not only do you have to have your stamina up, but you have to be able to control a puck while skating on ice ...
but all of what i just typed is irrelevant because the greatest athletes on earth are versatile ... Jim Thorpe was the greatest athlete ever ... Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson were great ATHLETES ... none of these garbage $@@ soccer players are touching any of them ... hell, Jeremy Bloom is a better athlete than every single soccer player in the world ...

You call him a troll but he brings up one really great point....the part about being versatile. When you see a kid playing a bunch of sports, he is described as an athlete. Great athletes are people you can imagine being successful at multiple sports. Like when you look at Matt Kemp, you can envision him playing a few different sports. Same can be said of a ton of other baseball, basketball and football players. I dont feel like you can say the same thing about soccer players. Messi is the best player I have ever seen (only been following soccer casually for a few years) and I couldnt imagine him playing a single other sport.

i'm out of here ... this is one argument not even worth my time getting in people's feelings ... if you honestly believe JIM THORPE was a better athlete than MARADONA, you should perform a lobotomy on yourself... ...

Look at the sports best players, higher the baseline of athletic excellence then the best players should also be the best athletes in that particular sport.
The best players in hockey and soccer are never usually the best pure athletes.

But@ the NBA being more physical than pro soccer. Can't seriously think a sport that calls touch fouls is more physical than a sport where TACKLING is key.Not sure if serious...honestly...I am not sure if anyone in this thread claiming that soccer players are even close athletically to any of the other sports named in this thread are serious...
"tackling" in soccer...you mean...sliding to kick the ball away right???
Any contact results in a yellow card in the "matches" that I have seen and even worse...some clown will fall down on the ground and and do the stop, drop and roll like he has been shot...waiting for the ref to pull a red card...resulting in the "tackler" being removed from the game, as well as the next game...
Oh yeah...then the gun-shot victim gets up and runs off to continue running his marathon while he waits 10-15 minutes to touch the ball again...

Too many sideline critics in this thread whose sports experience is no doubt is limited to pick up games in the driveway...
