Watch as Chelsea Soccer Players Attempt to Play Baseball and Football Poorly
Chelsea is coming to the United States this summer for some “friendlies” so they released this promotional of some players trying their hand at baseball and football. Watching these guys try to “play” football and baseball, I was reminded of foreign exchange students trying to play American sports in high school. Then I remember this is exactly the same thing as foreign exchange students trying to play American sports, minus the high school.

Fuck the Seahawks.

I’d like to make fun of them, but then I think about what I’d look like if they filmed me playing soccer. Or basketball.
May 31st, 2012 at 10:45 AM
If one of them is right-handed and can figure out which end of a bat to hold onto, please have them call Jim Leyland. Thanks.

Soccer players and wrestlers are basically retarded at any other sport outside of their craft. Just awkward athletes.
May 31st, 2012 at 10:47 AM
i havent seen an athlete that awkward and uncoordinated since tim tebow was eliminated from the playoffs.
May 31st, 2012 at 10:47 AM
Castellanos or Turner for Quentin.

youd look fine playing soccer…i assume you can jog, yes? then you’ll look normal for 99% of the time you’re out there.

you don’t have a gun already? it says in the 2nd ammendment you’re supposed to have a gun to keep the fucking redcoats from quartering in your home dude.
May 31st, 2012 at 10:56 AM
wtf? only fucking soccer players would wear helmets w/o interior pads.
May 31st, 2012 at 10:56 AM
I’ve read this 10x and it still makes no sense to me.
May 31st, 2012 at 10:58 AM
it means they basically suck at any other sport. What is hard to understand about that.
May 31st, 2012 at 10:58 AM
Could you imagine a US without the third amendment? I bet David Beckham would be shacked up at my place right now.
I bet that asshole drinks straight out of the carton too.

david, bubbaloo, you can’t tear out pages of the new golf digests before i can read them. if only there were an ammendment regarding this…

Hakeem was a soccer player in Zamunda. And Farooq played football at Free Shows, IIRC.

I guess you’re right, it’s not that hard to understand. I just couldn’t possibly disagree more.

And please don’t forget about Stephen Neal, world champion wrestler before deciding to give football a try and ended up having a 10 year career.

Our German foreign exchange student was a really good kickoff guy. He couldn’t hit a FG or extra point to save his life though.
May 31st, 2012 at 11:10 AM
A few years ago, they had a skills contest with a bunch of NFL players on TV, and one event was a HR derby. Half of them looked like they’d never picked up a bat before. Awful stances and swinging like the shittiest kid on your T-ball team.
May 31st, 2012 at 11:12 AM
I could imagine those Chelsea guys being superb basketball players. Probably similar to Stanley.
May 31st, 2012 at 11:13 AM
Neal was a beast on the mat. I remember watching him beat Brock Lesnar.

I imagine football players by and large would look the most awkward trying other sports save for Jerome Bettis’ majestic bowling form

One of my college roommates’ older brother wrestled Lesnar in college. He won the NCAA Heavy title one of those years. Said everyone in the Big Ten hated Lesnar because he was roided up and a dick.

As soon as I saw the headline, I knew soccer haters would be swarming around. I’d like to see fat fuck non-athletes otherwise known as baseball player run a quarter mile, but I’m not a cruel guy. Asking a baseball player to sprint for an extended period of time is same as signing the guy’s death sentence.
May 31st, 2012 at 11:34 AM
it’s not that i hate soccer, it’s just that i find it’s athletes, and you being german will appreciate this, genetically inferior and rife for liquidation.
evolution gave us these things called “thumbs” and these “thumbs” are used to grip things. it’s what separates us from the apes.
therefore, any athlete volunatarily forgoing the use of these wonderfully opposable gifts should have their feet cut off at the very least.

You forgot to put golfers in there.
May 31st, 2012 at 11:39 AM
well, this exhibit hurts that stance.
im sure golfers would look just as silly trying to play soccer (or not) or some other sport, but if soccer players look this uncoordinated at the skill aspects of american sports, the only differentiating factor is that soccer players run.
therefore, soccer players are only as athletic as your everyday jogger…because we’re not counting the skill, right?
/a golf swing is just as athletic as kicking a soccer ball…golfers just are too smart to run
May 31st, 2012 at 11:42 AM
Basketball players skill set best transcends into many other sports, therefore making them the best athletes on the planet. AMIRITE? AMIRITE?!?!
/I know I’m right
May 31st, 2012 at 11:44 AM
serious answer…yea, id say basketball players would be the best athletes on the planet. soccer prolly next, joking above aside.
May 31st, 2012 at 11:51 AM
How did they determine which two American sports to feature? ratings? or sizzle?

Soccer players and wrestlers are basically retarded at any other sport outside of their craft. Just awkward athletes.
I managed to play D1 soccer and was a provincial champ in soccer, wrestling, hockey, and cross country…thus, no.
May 31st, 2012 at 12:27 PM
cross country is about as much of a sport as competitive eating.
forget soccer…at least that has a game incorporated into it. but cross country? jesus tittyfucking christ…i never understood the fasicnation with which bipedal could transport themselves the fastest when we have things like cars and horses to do that same thing a million times faster.
LETS SEE WHO’S THE BEST AT INCONVENIENTLY TRANSPORTING THEMSELVES!
what is the purpose?
TRANSPORTATION!
what is your destination?
THE SAME PLACE WE STARTED!
May 31st, 2012 at 12:38 PM
Agreed. Soccer maybe ahead of basketball. Both sports combine athletic prowess and a basic skill set with a balance better than most other sports.
May 31st, 2012 at 12:41 PM
cross country was just a way to keep good endurance for other sports..
May 31st, 2012 at 12:43 PM
I managed to play D1 soccer as well. But, I’m not naive enough to believe that the guys I played with were damn good at other things. Such as playing a pick up game of basketball or throwing a baseball when half of them might not know whether they are left or right handed. Great soccer players, I will not take that away from them. Most were better than me to be honest.

What is a Jim Fixx? how do I ask him? And what’s he gonna tell me that’s going to change my mind?
