Soccer is pretty much the top sport in every country but the United States. It's no wonder while our men's national team has never played in a World Cup final and still has to struggle for respectability.
In other countries the nation's top athletes play soccer. In the US, they play football, basketball, baseball, hell, even hockey.
Often when I see a great US athlete I wonder, what if he played soccer instead of pro basketball?
Will out top athletes ever start opting to play the beautiful game? Here are 10 athletes I would have loved to seen on the pitch in no particular order.
Now keep in mind, in this theoretical world, these athletes would have been playing soccer hardcore since the time they started the sports they play now.
