All World Soccer Teams
 
It can be sort of comical when a new player suddenly gets good enough to displace someone from the all-world team.  Sometimes after the shock and unbelief has worn off you hear for some reason all kinds of talk about how wait unti this new guy teaches all his tricks to (insert name of established World Class player). I wonder, why is it that sometimes a player who has become good enough to be All-World, is simply accepted as being All-World, while at other times the focus is on what great things will allegedly happen to an established player when the new player teaches the established player the secrets of the game.
 
A fair number of the guys listed here, I did not get a look at at the World Cup. Did'nt see Brazil play they got eliminated early. I remember Henry, Rooney, Ribery, Gerrard, Lampard, Kaka, Beckham, Zidane. Most of these players sort of impressed me without convincing me that they will be better players than me say a month from now. Watching them I could see too many situations where if I were in their place, with a little practice, I would produce a better attempt at a goal than they.
 
People should be understanding regarding people who are retarded in terms of their soccer achievements in the USA. The USA people and coaches have been ignorant, the USA people have not known how to spot and encourage a prospect, the USA people discourage young players who are albeit hidden world class prospects.
