I don't agree that swimmers are better athletes than footballers, or vice versa. All sports are physically demanding in different ways. Another sport that uses the same muscle groups will be difficult for any athlete unless he has trained his body for it.
As for Diego at McDonald's, it was probably a 1 off thing. I doubt he eats that shit frequently. He would easily burn it off though. Although a proper diet will do athletes plenty of good in the long term.

My point was based on the fact that someone said that eating at McDonald's three times a week was okay for an athlete. But it's not.
Actually soccer is a great sport to get in shape. It can be very exhausting, it works the core very well, you also need a strong upper body when you're a pro and you need both speed and endurance.
Phelps is obviously in shape, but he would not be able to run 15 minutes with Camoranesi for example. If all he had to do was follow Camo around on the football pitch, Phelps would fall over soon enough. Now obviously Camo couldn't follow Phelps for five metres in a pool, but you get the point.
You have better war and weapons (whatever that might mean), but we definitely build better cars. Sure, you have some good companies, but the true quality is over here.
As for movies and television.. I kind of tend to agree. Sure, there is the annoying stupid blockbuster every once in a while, but Americans do make A LOT of great movies. And as for tv shows, I think very few shows can compete with House MD, The Wire, South Park or The Simpsons.
