Either troll or stupid. Or just ignorant..I think troll though.
Being a north-european I grew up playing soccer, so I know what I'm talking about here. Soccer involves MANY MANY diffrent skills, and you can lack several of them and still play at the highest level.
But, that is kinda besides the point anyways. Maybe you should re-read what I wrote.
No, YOU are completely moronic. It doesn't matter if it's one skill or many skills, your ceiling in any given event is still connected to your innate talent. You could divide running into many separate "skills" too - muscle strength, muscle endurance, ability to clear lactate, ability to process oxygen, size... Saying "soccer involves many different skills" and "soccer ability is not connected to genetics" is a COMPLETE, 100% NON SEQUITUR.
