Don’t want to argue the merits of your who is the better athlete, hockey players or soccer but.....years ago I was sitting in a VIP box watching an indoor soccer game in the ‘Great Western Forum’. The usher asked my husband and I if two guys could join us. Those guys happened to be professional hockey players. Don’t remember their names or the team they played for but we got into a discussion about soccer vs hockey. Both players had played soccer and they both said hockey was much easier to play. They expressed great admiration for soccer players. Does that mean soccer players are better athletes, NO. It means all players who achieve the status of a professional are exceptional athletes, and they are gifted and skilled in different areas. Kudos to them all.
I don’t really care who is “better conditioned”. I care about being entertained. The U.S. played 4 games in the World Cup. And won, how many? 1 damn game. And that’s a success?
What a joke.
