Many smart sports fans insist that the U.S. football team would be the world's best if we used our 'best athletes.' The theory goes that because America has the best athletes at sports we invented and we win many wars we compete in (most of them at least) that our best will simply dominate the beautiful game.
Well here is our best athlete in action, decathlon champion Ashton Eaton. Watch what he does here by clicking this link. It's simply astounding and we can only wonder how great he would have been had he simply applied his talent to football or tennis. He could have probably been the first joint winner of Wimbledon and the World Cup.
Jurgen Klinsmann should bring in Ashton Eaton for national team camp. Another good choice is Kobe Bryant who famously failed at the sport as a kid in Italy and chose basketball instead. Another guy with time on his hand is this guy who compared himself to Messi.
