elite athlete body right there. That's crazy. He looks like he drives a pickup truck and goes finishing on the weekend.

Wasn't there some shyt about how bad the diet is and that he hasn't brushed his teeth in ages

Anyone see the commercial with Jalen hurts, so it’ll be flag football as the event chosen for LA2028

But if our best athletes trained for soccer starting at age 4 or age 5......

What's happening is that our 6th best athletes trained for soccer. Athlete = not just raw speed/power but spatial awareness, dexterity, endurance etc.

Plus - American kids don't play soccer for fun. Only time you see them play is when it's a match for some league or travel team. Kids in Africa, Europe, South America etc., play soccer the way brehs go to the LA Fitness gym to hoop. Skill or athleticism? Neither matters because soccer isn't ingrained into our culture.

Its not like our best players aren’t scrubs lmao they play at big clubs we literally a striker and a winger away and all that is just technical work honestly because they have top tier athletic ability

The gap between the women’s team is even wider than the men’s

I’ll be surprised if this is even competitive by the 3rd
