 It just doesn't happen. 250 pounds in soccer? Carrying that around for 90 minutes? Non-stop? It doesn't work. It doesn't. Now maybe you find some 6'4 guards who could translate well. That's fine. But you go look at Pele. Not even 5'10". Diego Maradona. Small guy. Cristiano Ronaldo is 6 feet even. Zidane, the great fans player, 6'1". But by and large, it's 6'1 and under for the best soccer players. Maybe you've got a goalie here or there who's big.
