Name one of our football players who could keep up with any soccer player for two hours.

...sure, I’ll try and do that, if you’ll promise to name a soccer player who could survive one routine football play at any position other than placekicker (or holder)...

...are you so dense as to seriously believe that no NFL running back, or wide receiver, or defensive back, could not possibly survive a soccer game for lack of training...?

My question wasn’t about survivability. It was about endurance.

And yes I still question as to whether any defensive back or wide receiver could keep up the pace for up to 2 hours.
Too many times I’ve seen them with tongues lapping the ground on the sidelines while they get a moment to catch their breath and return to the game.

And let’s not forget most of our footballers play under a domed stadium; nothing like the blazing tropical heat in Brazil.
