What if Calvin Johnson played soccer? Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. pen new ESPN column
How do British people know about Megatron? Why do Icelandic sports freaks follow neighborhood soccer clubs? Why is soccer professional sport #6 in American culture?
Detroit’s Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. are across the pond on a European tour, where they stayed up till 6 a.m. to watch the Lions defeat Green Bay in their hotel lobby. Like many Americans before them, Daniel Zott and Josh Epstein wonder why Europeans are so attached to the the game of soccer, even at minor-league levels. Their theory — soccer gets all of the EU’s ideal athletes. Not so in the States.
Oct. 28, ESPN The Magazine: We started thinking about what American soccer might look like if all children grew up playing soccer instead of football or basketball. What if Barry Sanders had been a central midfielder? What if former Olympic champion sprinter Michael Johnson had been a center forward, or Magic Johnson had been a goalkeeper?
That leads Zott and Epstein to draw up their Dream Team for unquestioned USA dominance in the World Cup, featuring none other than Megatron and LeBron at forward — “the most impressive group of strikers the world have ever seen,” they note.
