Ditto. I'm not athletic or sporty in general but I do like to play sports if given the opportunity or inclination. Soccer is huge in Thailand. And although I'm never much of a soccer fan, Man U is still the most kicka$$ team around. :)
I know Thailand quite well, been there a lot, including a full month last year.
One of my favorite places in the world. If you get a chance, shoot up to Vietnam, another wonderful place.
Thais will never excel in soccer, they are too small.
