It's just Horners specifically. The fact that soccer is #1 popular for Horners but can't even make it tells me it's genetics (we are all the same genetic wise).
There is a Somali owned club here and the reservist/senior team rely heavily on 1-3 Bantu players that carried the defense and midfield. I was playing with them for 1 season, ever heard of farahs being hyped/called the "best" because of those tricks and pace?
Those Bantus xoog all over them pace, strength and power wise and the gap is a huge night and day difference like I was playing with A level players that can't be touched. That was the moment I get why European clubs love scouting players from Bantu countries.
Long distance running is the only sport we dominate and for obvious reasons.
You guys are funny ngl.
Some of you guys don't realize the amount of work needed to become a pro athlete. Saying we can't be good because of genetics is weak thing to say. Especially in a sport where every major ethnic group has players playing in the pros.
I've seen madow, cadaan, and Hispanic start participating in sports at an extremely young age. Most of the pros start this early and continue to play for the next 10-12 years before making it to the pros. By 18 they would have at least 13 years of playing experience before even making it to the pros.
Look at basketball here in North America for example. Most Somali niggas can start playing with their friends at a young age but that shit doesn't matter if they aren't learning how to play with a legit team at young age.
Look at this vid above. Madows iyo Cadaans start training their kids early. These parents are willing to invest money into supporting their child's athletic dreams. Most Somali parents overall for the past 20 years have been way to broke to do this.
