Which is more important

The decathletes may have seen a football, but they're not skilled footballers.

The freestylers aren't playing at the top clubs quite likely because they're lacking in at least one of the following: tactical knowledge, in-game intelligence, discipline, mental fortitude and, yes, also physical attributes such as resilience, stamina or power - although, as stated earlier, with the adequate discipline and training, the physical attributes can be more easily acquired than the necessary techincal skills.

The best team doesn't always win because football isn't an exact science; it's a sport that's subject to a near endless series of random events. The better team does, however, win much more often - bearing in mind that defending well is just as much a part of the game as attacking well.

So unfit freestylers would beat Super fit decathletes?

Only 1 way to find out......fight.

You haven't made a case for the decathletes though.

Freestylers win.

11 milners would beat 11 Sheringhams

Milner's more accomplished technically than you realise, and Sheringham less than you remember.

This thread is painful

Yes, so 11 milners would beat 11 Sheringhams.

Athleticism trumps ability 👍🏻

Yes dear, drink your tea now.
