My point is, its not so much about athletes. It's about concentration and culture to develop skills and gameplans.
Developing high-level soccer is more akin to melding the individual skill set of a golfer or a musician, with the creative and teamwork skills of an orchestra and composer, than it is assembling the most formidable athletes.
There is something to be said about benefitting from the infusion of the mindset and dedication of American professional athletes, but that's a different matter from infusing their raw athleticism.
