If everyone who can kick the ball can become great at soccer, why are some brehs playing in the 3rd tier of Vietnam instead of making millions playing ofr Barca or Real?

you're just as dumb as these idiots saying anyone can play soccer and you just need endurance. so tall goalkeepers don't need talent? being tall is an advantage for a goalkeeper, but they still need the talent and ability. a 6'6" shooting guard with actual shooting guard skills will more times than not be superior to the 6'3" shooting guard. basketball isn't just about scoring, it's a two-way game. you have to defend and a part of being able to defend your position is size. wingspan is another advantage, not the only thing you need though.
i will say this though soccer has the most intense technical requirements and you can't come to this sport late. if you don't have the required technical ability by 13, no top level for you. there are no 16 year olds who found soccer and are now in the top league. like your embiids and a few before him in the nba. it's even worse in football, you have dudes who have the size and a college coach looks at them and says "there is a player in there if we can coach 'em up." 3-4 years later they are getting drafted in the NFL ... florida state produced some like that. a shot putter from estonia? damn you're tall, there is a defense end in there. fast rugby player? let's give him a tryout.
In Football the Goalkeeper is the less talented athlete in the field, that is a fact accepted in Football... the difference is that being 1.80 is enough height to goalkeeping (you can reach easily the superior part of the goal) and that height is a normal height in a big part of the world.
I wouldn't call A goalkeeper the least talented player on the field, a great goalkeeper will save your ass multiple times in a season and give you at least 6 extra points with critical saves he has to make. There arent many GREAT goalkeepers around though.

How so? Please expend your point.
it's one of the most important positions on the team and modern keepers have to be athletic. go somewhere. and here is chelsea's french goalkeeping coach using similar language to what i used when talking about height and basketball.

here he addresses your 1.80m point.

and that's the point with basketball you are missing. if you can bring the same required skills to the table that the shorter player has, but at a bigger size. then yeah you will be preferred because by being bigger you bring additional qualities that will help the team..

As I said you the goalkeeper is the less talented athlete in Football because being tall give him an advantage. That is a fact in Football, and to be honest, goalkeepers are frustrated field players, it is the most boring position in Football... I only will say that a Goalkeeper is talented if he knows how to play like a field player like Manuel Neuer.
In Basketball all the positions are less talented because you need to be very tall to have an advantage.

American football is for the overly aggressive guy that loves to wear spandex
Basketball is for the swagged out fly boy
Baseball is for either the lunk who hates running or the incredibly observant mathematician type
Soccer is for the artistic one who likes a challenge and poetry

Why would it hurt my feelings? You think I need your approval to watch sports
I thought you'd have something interesting to say but I guess I had higher expectations then I should have.
American Football is for douchebages who like steroids.
Basketball is for poor and very tall people.
Baseball is for fat and bored people. Mathematician type in Basebaall da fukk?
Soccer is for Olimpyan Gods and for people who likes competition.
