I tend to think soccer players look closer to athletes than, say, Barry Bonds or an NFL offensive lineman. Pele (pictured below) was 5'7" and the Argentinian star Diego Maradona was 5'6". I find that rather refreshing, living in a country where athletes are expected to look like circus freaks or cartoon charectors ... The practical purpose for a soccer player being that it would be difficult to run around on the field all day looking like Bonds. And I don't even want to image Leon Lett attempting a bicycle kick.
