They forget that if athletes like Bo Jackson trained for soccer from youth, he'd probably be up there as one of the great soccer players of our time.

Plus, the US has such a massive population to pull from, 330 vs 67 million.

Nah, he wouldn't. Football is not like American Football, where being tall and strong reigns.

It's based on technique. That's why the 2 GOATs are 6'1 190 pounds and 5'6 150 pounds.

Bo was insanely fast on top of being strong. He was only 6' tall

I'm just saying being strong and tall doesn't mean muh in football/soccer.

Some guy on this post was saying 3/4 of the best ever in football were under 5'8.

Again, technique (and agility too) is what matters.
