Kinda off topic, but the only “Dream Team” was the first one with Jordan, Bird, Magic, Malone, etc. It really ticks me off when anyone calls the teams that followed them “Dream Teams”.

Any Duke TEAM could win the olympics. Piling a bunch of wannabe gangsters is not our best strategy. Taking the losing team from the NBA finals to the olympics would gaurantee we would never lose.
I think the worst thing the USOC ever did was allow professional basketball players to play in the olympics. Make it a college all-star team again, and we will be back to never losing a game.
Soccer still sucks. We could take our best athletes (primarily defensive backs), train them for 6 months, and win the world cup. Jesus, soccer sucks.
I think that 6 months would be stretching it a bit, but I would agree that DB’s, athletic qb’s, and receivers -if trained in the basic skills of the game - would change the face of soccer.
How do you defend someone that is 6’4", 235, and can run a 4.4 40? Teach them how to dribble and pass that stupid little ball, and there would be yet another reason to hate the US.

I’m trying to decide whether your post and Doogie’s post are ignorant, arrogant, childlike, stupid or simply born from the fact that you’re from texas.

I think the Texans just like yanking everyone else’s collective chains.

Stop with the asinine attempts to figure out which countries could be good at what.
Oh, and you left out half the world’s population in China and India.
Not to mention the entire continent of Africa.[/quote]
Africa lacks the infrastructure to start developing any good team RIGHT NOW. They also lack the depth needed. South Africa, maybe. India and China…sorry, don’t see it. And yes, I know that Northern Chinese have a taller average height than Americans. MAYBE South Korea could, but that’s a stretch. For the most part, Asians just don’t have the genetics for FB players.
