Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, then it tries to silence good.

- Lol. That's funny. They would still suck.NT NDavenue 7:02pm · 11/22/20
  - No basis to believe that. If our best athletes played soccer from day one, we would dominate. NedoftheHill 10:28pm · 11/22/20
    - I just don’t see it. There is much more to it than being a good athlete. Same in any sport. NDavenue 11:23pm · 11/22/20
      - Sounds like we might actually agree here. NedoftheHill 12:37am · 11/23/20
        
        Ahh. Yeah, I think we agree for the most part. One other thing... NDavenue 7:47am · 11/23/20
  - Exactly. Our team is plenty athletic. Only the African nations may be better there. Frank L 7:04pm · 11/22/20
    - I'm suggesting that we would have the technique, training and culture if soccer were our #1 sport. NedoftheHill 10:28pm · 11/22/20
      - That’s a better point. Best athletes many times aren’t best players.NT Frank L 11:28pm · 11/22/20
    - Yep. And "Best Athletes" doesn't even necessarily describe the NFL or NBA. NDavenue 7:10pm · 11/22/20
      - B.S. Imagine our wide receivers, cornerbacks, with serious foot skills. Again, we'd dominate. NedoftheHill 10:31pm · 11/22/20
      - Some of them could be inside or outside backs were you need more athleticism and less skill.NT Frank L 7:24pm · 11/22/20
        
        Maybe. But, there is little substitute for soccer intelligence. NDavenue 7:52pm · 11/22/20
        
        By a very small group of people who don't really know the sport. NedoftheHill 10:33pm · 11/22/20
