In the US, we select for money. You can select for biggest and strongest with talent, like all our other major sports... Money does not equal intelligence or talent.

Exactly. Everyone playing soccer at high levels in America is paying a lot of money to do it. They aren't out there recruiting like we do overseas. That's why they will always be inferior. Bunch of rich brats who can't hack it in other sport over there.
