So I watched a little bit of this soccer game between US and Belgium. There is no reason under heaven that the Flemish should stay within 10 or 20 points of ANY professional sports team in ANY sport of ours. What I saw was that they were bigger, faster, and stronger than our boys. The announcer on ESPN, some European guy, kept saying how big and strong and fast that black guy from Belgium was, the striker, and that our lads just had no chance to defend him. It was obvious: their best athletes play this game and ours dont. Imagine if our defender was LeBron James, or some other top level American athlete. Then the Belgian kid would be like Rudy. The truth is if American children were indoctrinated with soccer like the rest of the worlds children this World Cup would be a compulsory tournament at best. Much like the original Dream Team in the 92 Olympics, our lads would totally own the rest of these 56-510, 160-180 lb. soccer boys. Here is my take on a top-rate soccer team of current American athletes, and I know there could be 10 others that would be just as good, tell me what you think and who your 11 would be! USA National Team Goalie: Calvin Johnson Center Back: Richard Sherman Center Back: Eric Berry Right Back: Russell Westbrook Left Back: LeBron James Left Defensive Midfielder: Chris Paul Right Defensive Midfielder: John Wall Left Attacking Midfielder: LeSean McCoy Center Attacking Midfielder: Johnny Manziel Right Attacking Midfielder: Kobe Bryant Striker: Adrian Peterson
