    He has enough problem with his shoes exploding WITHOUT trying to kick a ball.... :)

    With his size, though, he'd probably be a centerback in soccer were he to play. He's too dang big to play keeper, and doesn't have the quickness to cover the net--and being that large is a disadvantage in trying to play with the ball at your feet.

    Likewise with LeBron or any number of large basketball players.

    Plus, I can't see either of 'em lasting 90 minutes without a breather. While tiny players can get pushed around on a soccer pitch, the game really doesn't favor the huge.

      If soccer was an American sport and played domestically with 300 million fans who love it more than life itself (with no competing sport of any interest) then you would see a real US National Team for the guys. Not saying they would win it all of course, it would never be played in schools or colleges as competition, only professional clubs would have cradle to the grave players that would be world stars with promotion and relegation realities..

      Wait, this is America. Multi verse perhaps.
