It has been my experience that soccer is still perceived as the sport for also rans. And run you must... a fit soccer player will outrun an American Football player, Baseball player, and, Basketball player... Combined It has been tested. Things will change soon...

RE: Besides, not everyone is strong and big.* Many are 'just' quick and agile.* I hate to belabour the point, but I will. This is exactly my point. Can you imagine if the best athletes in football and BBall started out in soccer? Can you imagine what it would be like to stop a team of highly skilled quick and agile men that could have been 220+ lb running backs in the NFL who can run the 100 yd dash in under 10 seconds and with 5% body fat? What does a team composed of 160 lb men do? Get out of the way? LOL.
