boxing being ahead of MMA skill wise, hahahaha. that's a big joke already. yes talent pool bla bla bla, but skill itself MMA is much deeper. hockey in second? wow, that's a lot of bullshit. but not unexpected since ESPN is an american company
really fucking interesting like the top 4 is all the sports the US is good at. quite a coincidence, I might say
even tennis is above eu football in this chart, like wtf
Football players receive long balls tougher than that every game.Way more coordinated for soccer related skills, sure. Coordination in sports is entirely dependant on what skills are need.
The hand eye coordination to locate the ball in the air, positioning to stay in bounds and dexterity to make the catch is on par or better than any coordination needed in soccer.
You muricans can cry all you want. Number 1 sport in the world IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE UNDISPUTED KING THE SPORTS FOOTBALL!!!
Ah, the universally accepted standard of athleticism: ripping people in half.
Whats the point of this discussion? Different sports take different skillsets. NFL players would lose to badminton players and table tennis guys in hand eye coordination.
Sprinters are the best then. It's the most explosive event ain't it?Skillset is different than athleticism.
Great point.
You will notice when America fails miserably at soccer ( a worldwide global sport and the olmypics, a worldwide global athletics competition) you hear excuses like, oh we don't care about those sports!
Right, sure you don't, you don't care about the most popular athletic events, even though you claim to be the no.1 superpower in the world? That makes no sense.

I'd understand where you are coming from if the guy just hit the ball with his hand but he caught the ball one handed while bending damn near horizontal and having a helmet that blocks out some vision. All while being grabbed on by the defender and remain in bounds.Rofl you americans are jsut fucking reaching for every straw you can.
So a dude reaching for something with his hands is any more impressive than a dude having to launch his body into the air and connect his head with a ball that was crossed in, or a soccer player doing an over the head flip and blasting in the ball with his feet? Im telling you right now its alot easier to catch a ball with his hands than it is to somersalt and on the tail end of the flip kick the ball into a goal.
Its fine if you want to pick and choose which you think looks cooler, but dont pretend that using your hands is harder than using your feet, because in reality its more likely to be the opposite.

THAT gif is your example of coordination?
Any goalkeeper that fails to catch that ball is automatically considered trash in football (soccer for you).
Cool, Odell was more impressive.
Please stop with facts and logic, because these yanks will happily compare NFL players who basically sprint to a living, to Tyron woodley in that clip of him sprinting with an NFL player (hes a wrestler/power puncher with shit cardio) but yet they would never compared NFL players to the sprinters of the world, because then they would look D level.. see how this works? People insert their biases in to fit their equation.
LMAO a sport that doesn't have endurance in it but they are so A level.. we also got people claiming Cardio isn't athl
Right, even though 40 or 50% of the current champ roster is white, and before it was 70% but it went down.. Had one dude telling me there is no white champs yesterday, had to write off a fucking list ahha.. i was like okay.. let me start with the heavyweight champ.. you know that white dude that has a job and still is the champ.. ok.
...have you actually watched a football match?Yeah, a soccer ball with two hands, not a football with one hand thrown in the air while falling back.
