Steve Nash dreamed of becoming a pro soccer player, just like his dad and his brother... however, he wasn't good enough and couldn't cut it. Now, he's one of the best basketball players on earth.

Chad Johnson's favorite sport is soccer, too... he couldn't cut it, so instead he became a borderline hall-of-fame WR.

I've never heard of a soccer player that dreamed of being anything but a soccer player.
I could turn the tables on that and say soccer players never dreamed of being anything but soccer players because it's the only major sport played in their respective countries (except for cricket and open wheel racing).

And they are probably incapable of succeeding at any other sport because they need to use their hands.

But some of them could be kickers in football, I guess.

John Deere on entertainment - The Carrie Underwood concert last night was awesome. We ended up being third row center from the stage
