For anyone who doesn't know, Zlatan Ibrahimovic was an absurdly good striker for most of his career, and one of the top 5 strikers of the last 15 years (in my opinion). He has some of the most phenomenal goals I've ever seen, was extremely athletic even by top pro standards, has a very complete skill set for a traditional 9, and would completely obliterate Sam Kerr.
I'm just some guy and I'd also completely obliterate Sam Kerr.
Hahaha... sorry to say, but probably not, homie.
For the onslaught of downvoters who know jackshit about this sport, if you genuinely believe the world's best female player would get beaten at soccer/football by any random guy, you're a complete fucking retard. This woman would completely shit all over every single one of you.
Keep downvoting, you're still complete retards who'd get embarrassed by this chick.
Yeah, I would. Men and women are so different athletically that we might as well be a different species.
Picking a semi-endurance event at random, the 10k run:
In 2020, the slowest woman in the 10k run at the Olympics ran it in 33:10.
Running a 10k in 33:33 puts you in the top 1% of men.
Maybe you could get up tomorrow and run a 10k in 33:00, and be the equivalent of an Olympic-level female middle-distance runner. But in that case, you're not "just some guy", you're also faster than 99 men out of 100.
The disparity between men and women is less for endurance events than for something like grip strength, and soccer involves a lot of continuous motion and endurance.
