PRECISELY

also lacking is the work ethic necessary to play at the higher levels because (unlike baseball, american football, basketball) is not seen by the poor as a path to riches. soccer is currently a kind of slacker sport that slackers play. i have no problem with that (games should be fun) as long as there is a professional top level as obsessed with their fitness and performance as bruce lee was.

and this is where things also count: while americans might be bench warmers in europe, the training, the nutrition, and the medical care they get is the same as the starters. whether they actually get to play or not, they are fit to play every 4 days for 10 or 11 months of the year. that's where the mls is way behind. and many bench warmers get loaned out anyway and can play regularly (e.g. julian green was loaned out from bayern to hamburg).

OCTAGON, BITCHES

ha ha ha. sorry, i'm a little buzzed.
