If more black americans played soccer we would dominate everyone like basketball

[Redeem87]

Imagine if some of the greats like MJ, Magic , Bron , and Kobe if they had spent all that energy on soccer we would crush everybody internationallly just like we do in Basketball

 

[Miggs]

Chad Ocho Cinco couldnt make it in the MLS...

 

[satam55]

No shyt.

 

[JordanwiththeWiz]

Same can be said about a lot of sports

 

[[REDACTED]]

lmao

Guys like lebron are too tall.Their height limits what they can do

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Not sure about dominate but the U.S. would be an elite team.

 

[FakeNews]

This argument again

 

[BlackAchilles]

Nah.

It's not that they couldn't succeed it's that the overall breadth and depth of football talent makes that logistically much harder.

 

[OneManGang]

No one country will ever have a stranglehold on football equivalent to America's basketball dominance. Too many countries throw money into football and too many kids play it with varying styles and levels for that to happen.

And breh 6'3 plus ppl soccer is not a recipe for success at all

 

[Osmar]

One thing I don't understand about this argument that is repeated on coli is why is it automatically assumed that the stars of basketball would also be the stars of soccer?

Height is such an advantage in basketball, that the creme that rises to the top would be different (i.e. It may not be the LeBron's, it may be that really athletically gifted kid who didn't grow tall enough to make it out of the AAU circuit), but I do believe we'd dominate like we do in every other sport we take seriously.

Naysayers will point out that other countries have soccer schools that train these kids from a very young age so we wouldn't compete. I disagree, believing if we treated it like basketball with you camps and leagues we'd still rise to the top.

Height isn't an incredible advantage in soccer like it is in basketball, but explain how it is a disadvantage.

Boils down to trsiningtraining tbh

AI and Curry type dudes would feast.

The best players have a low centre of gravity.
