ATL: The Black Soccer Culture No One Knew Existed

[8WON6]

Take away the offsides rule and I'd consider watching a soccer highlight show. Otherwise, that shyt boring to watch.

 

[Black Haven]

yall get one season of professional soccer and start making outlandish claims.


basketball players should have that option IMO

Yeah I agree but just because, its a good idea for them doesn't mean its a good idea for the NCAA. Which is why I constantly say there is no way in hell they are going to allow young soccer players free agency like that,it'll do nothing but cause a domino effect with a terrible outcome for them in the end.

soccer players always have the option of Europe, Mexico, and South America tho. basketball players don't have all the options.

What do you mean? The options to play in other leagues around the world?Because that can't be true for American born basketball players can't say the same for American born soccer players though for obvious reasons.

why can't American soccer players play overseas? many of them do, at good clubs, especially at the youth level. there are Americans playing throughout Europe and Mexico in leagues of higher quality than MLS. American basektball players can't go overseas and play in a level higher than the NBA. and there are way less professional basketball leagues than there are soccer leagues worldwide

bruh let's be honest them dudes most likely rotting away on the damn bench its highly unlikely you see a american player playing in upper tier professional leagues like c'mon man
But I will say you might be right when it comes to the youth level, I was highly impressed with the u17mnt last fall. That at least show SOME progress I guess.

the future of the US is bright because those kids went over to Europe early

kids will go to baseball before soccer. Soccer isn't for tall people and when it comes to the top athletes in the states they are usually tall (6'1+)

The average height of the 2014 German world cup team was 6'1", the average height of an NFL player is 6'2".

yeah but I don't see the average American parent letting their child go overseas by themselves. Pulisic is a outlier bruh.

Whats the avg NFL player weight


And the german team is literally the most extreme example you could have used lol

 

[Malta]

Whats the avg NFL player weight

You said Soccer wasn't for tall people, what does weight have to do with anything? As though the kids who would get into soccer as opposed to football would just naturally end up 250lbs

If the money is right they would, the HS sports scene in America is hilarious, you have kids from CT playing HS basketball in Nevada. Parents will uproot their lives if their kid is good enough.

its already happening.
professional athletes arent average people anyway

avg player isn't 6'1 in soccer though. Why take one segment of Soccer to compare to an Avg across all football teams? thats not how stats work
