    Can you point out specific examples of what classifies as a lack of mental toughness as far as Donovan goes? I'd say Klinnsman was the one who lacked mental toughness because his ego just couldn't get over Donovan taking a break from the game so coach had to make the team and the fans suffer by leaving the best player off the team because Landon didn't worship at the same alter as Jurgen.

    And it's one thing for Klinnsman to 'be hard' on Donovan, it's another, totally classless thing, to knock him on the day he is retiring from international soccer. Which is what Klinnsman did.
    Donovan was left off the World Cup team because at that time he was not in good form. He is playing some of his best soccer of his career right now but at the time of the tournament he was not. It's that simple. I don't blame Klinsman at all!

You also find top 20 and 25 pure speed rankings where Messi isn't mentioned, which is very plausible when you see the players on these lists. I'd love to see how fast Messi would run at the NFL combine - 4.6, maybe?
      This is a pretty cool video of Ronaldo competing against a sprinter:

        A white sprinter. How many white sprinters are world class?

          So now we get to the real issue. It isn't that Messi is short and slow. It is that he is short and white.

            The point is in the video that was posted to compare Ronaldo to a sprinter, the comparison was to some white dude. White dudes do not have a strong history as being world class sprinters. Fact.

              Fact: You are an idiot.

              I posted that video simply because I thought it was interesting in that it showed how different sports use different running styles.
