I'm a patriot breh, can't stand aside and let my brehs, as foolhardy as they may be, absolutely embarrass themselves like this. Mastermind and yoyoyoyo post hundreds of times per day so we can be better than this. :to:



Proper, I'd completely forgotten that I'd wanted to watch this.

Damn, I can't remember the name of the young American player who'd scored some sort of freakish Nike SPARQ rating a few years back. I want to say he was one of these new half-cac Germans, but he might've been born to Ghanian parents. Wonder where all that athleticism has taken him so far

Haha

The only thing I don't agree with in these threads is

Athlete=best

Gazza was fat as fukk and still caning it on the world stage

It helps, but I think in a lot of American sports, you can make sports stars in the gym/training field, where as I think the best footballers ate born that way (or at least moulded from an early age)

Money doesn't come into it as much, that's why south American countries still compete while be broke as fukk.

agility
stamina
quick
vertical
balance
strength
physical
etc

these are some things to determine how good an athlete it. now of all those things, which one is Ronaldo better than Lebron at.

in soccer you only need 3 things to be great, balance, a little stamina and leg strength.

You forgot the skill of tallness.

Yeah, it's the complete and total ignorance of what makes a good player and a good team.

If Desean Jackson grew up playing soccer in the U.S. he'd be a shyttier version of Theo Walcott who is already pretty shyt.

Our side doesn't lack athletes. In fact, our athleticism (as well as good ole fashioned American determination) is what we have going for us.

OOHHH DWIGHT HOWARD WOULD BE DA BEST GOALEEYYYY

We've had world class keepers for like 20 years straight :snoop:

Our women's side which is composed entirely of shebeast brolic dykes can't even dominate anymore.

:what:
Besides running (mostly sprinting),Lebron is better than Ronaldo at most of the things I listed. What does tallness have to do with it? Does tallness make him a better vertical jumper? does tallness make him stronger? does tallness make him have better stamina?

Hell, the average NFL running back and wide receiver is a better athlete than Ronaldo. So is an NBA point guard(except Chris Paul's fat ass).

The best thing about this thread every time it's made is that people automatically assume that everyone that disagrees or that brings up any faults with this argument isn't from the states.

This doesn't even make sense. We aren't talking about skills here. We're talking about athletics here. Messi's more skilled than athletic. If Lebron was Messi's height and wanted to be as great as Messi, he wouldn't need to rely on his athleticism, but more on how skilled he was

Now we're hitting that super next level of completely baseless and absolutely pointless conjecture.


New question for the thread.

Better player: 5'7" LeBron who wants to be as good as Messi and doesn't rely on his athleticism or a Garrincha built like Mike Singletary?
