I don't know why eiddyfouw eiddyfouw moved to South Africa, maybe he did get tired of us American's.. :lol:

But I just picture Eiddy having a moment of clarity and pulling a Nas from the classic movie BELLY... I'm going to Africa son!!! **** ya'll I'm out. Peace.

Please don't ruin my interpretation and ask him why?" - I'm not trying to hear he moved there because of a job or a girl, don't ruin this for me :lol:

There's no telling me otherwise that there are NBA guards, and NFL secondary / WR / RBs that would be able to play footy :lol:

The reality is that we don't have athletes like them overseas to compare with though. I mean lets say hypothetically that England was pumping out athletes like the United States. You're telling me in none of their 4 divisions there wouldn't at least be some unskilled super athlete Russel Westbrook / Derrick Rose equivalents playing CB/FB? We don't see them not because they're too unskilled for 4th division football, but because they don't exist out there. And if they are great athletes, then they're playing in the top flight.

In the end it's all hypothetical since there's nothing to compare with

Guys like Derrick Rose and Russel Westbrook are skilled, they play the PG positions so they have to be. I'm sure they would be great playmakers if they chose soccer

I know they've got mental skills and vision. I'm just saying for the sake of argument with the footy hipsters here that if they were relatively unskilled footballers...they'd still get by on their athleticism alone in at least one of the top 4 divisions if you had equivalents of them overseas.

our athletes are too tall, it would never work

Ozyakup, who scored the first goal for Turkey was born in Holland and playing for them at the youth level.

Our professional athletes are too tall (because that's the way it is here, that's what the NBA and NFL need)

But there are more athletic-average height dudes in this country than there are tall ones. That's why if the John Doe's from up the block who were never blessed with the gift of height could never play American sports professionally, if they had played soccer from day one - there'd be more of them. A lot more athletic dudes in this country under 6 feet tall than there are those who are more than 6 feet tall.

That's why when I say the LeBron James & JJ Watts of this country probably wouldnt be the pro soccer players because there'd be a hell of a lot more competition. Soccer is a hell of a lot more skill than genetics, if everyone here played we'd have more average looking professionals like the rest of the world.
 
Oy, what happened to the Oranje???


@eiddyfouw
 How long have you been living in SA?  And do you now have an SA accent? 

7 years. My US accent is still pretty obvious, but I've definitely inherited a quite a bit of a SA accent.

:lol: Wikus/Sharlto's accent was HEAVILY overdone for that film
